    All NATO countries should send forces to Ukraine in event of a peace deal, not just the UK and France saving Europe’s ass.

  3. Foreign troops, or any tangible security guarantees, will never be accepted by Putin. The only peace deal he’s interested in is one which makes it easier to invade again in the future.

  4. I feel like Germany could of joined especially in peace, I hope this is not an indicator for greenland

    Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more. How depressing is it that we live in such times as these.

  6. Sort of performative. All of this is based on if a peace deal or ceasefire is reached and one that doesn’t explicitly forbid this or restrict Ukraine’s sovereignty. There’s virtually no reason for Russia to accept any peace deal they can’t dictate now.

  7. Sneaky_Squirreel on

    No surprise it’s just UK and France, considering only they have nuclear weapons in European part of NATO.

  8. I can hear the ‘nyet!’ being repeated for hours already along with a lot of huffing, puffing, nuclear threats against everything and repeats of maximalist demands…

  9. Not a single new country, except the uk and france, have offered troops and we should not be doing this alone.

    If nobody else steps up, what’s the point? If America doesn’t want to send troops we can use the Berlin plus agreement.

  10. Thank you Great Britain, you are my best friend,

    You are the peacekeeper, you are the legend.

  11. Thank you Frankrike, you are my best friend,

    You are the peacekeeper, you are the legend.

  12. Playful-Marketing320 on

    UK and France have always had each other’s backs in the end. Being both British and French I am proud.

    You never have to send forces to Ukraine if the war is not going to end anytime soon!

    (insert thinking black guy meme)

    Easy to commit to that when you know there won’t be peace before your next election, and you know you’ll get pounded right out of office.

    Looks more like the coalition of the unwilling. The ‘answers’ to the journalists questions afterwards was a masterclass in political waffle, not one of them would say boo to the Americans present regarding Greenland – what a mess we are in and a shower they are.

  15. So, within the European Union, only France will be in Ukraine.

    That speaks volumes about the power of the EU.

    What a shock. Down to us and the French Foreign Legion. Anyone else in Europe feel like stepping up? Nope. What a shock.

    Pootn will absolutely see this as a force of aggression and spin this to where Russia is not the bad guy, EU being the one provoking to escalate war, some BS like that.

  18. This is great and all (actually might create a realistic ceasefire), but it also means Putin will NOT accept any deals until he captures as much land as possible.

  19. What planet are they living on? Putin would never agree to a ceasefire or peace deal that puts NATO military (France, UK and other members) on its doorstep, operating “on Ukrainian soil, securing Ukraine’s skies and seas”.

    They can organise meetings, hug, and shake hands all they like, but it will never be accepted.

  20. 1- This makes peace even more difficult and probably won’t happen until one of the sides fully collapse. Ukraine doesn’t need these bullshit papers, won’t be fullfilled.

    2- It’s just a “WILLING intent”, we all know how paper worked recently.

    3- Spain is also involved no? What about the rest of Europe? Germany? Alo?

  21. I know i’ll be downvoted to hell but… Donald is talking about taking over Greenland. Shouldn’t you send your troops there first?

  22. First, putin needs to be taken care of. 

    Before that no peace is realistic.

    Russian oligarchy, do your thing! Why experience inconveniences and money loses because of an old fool?!
