00:00
Europe's leaders remain divided on the prospect of sending peacekeeping troops to Ukraine
00:07
in the event of a peace deal with Russia.
00:11
Some of them met for emergency talks in Paris after seemingly being excluded from the negotiations
00:16
between the US, Russia and Ukraine.
00:19
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he is ready to consider sending British troops.
00:25
I'm prepared to consider committing British forces on the ground alongside others if there
00:32
is a lasting peace agreement.
00:35
But there must be a US backstop because a US security guarantee is the only way to effectively
00:45
deter Russia from attacking Ukraine again.
00:49
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said it is premature to consider the idea without Keefe's involvement.
00:55
I am even a little irritated about these debates, I want to say this very openly.
01:00
Here, the heads of Ukraine are talking about the result of peace talks that did not take
01:06
place and in which Ukraine did not say yes and did not sit at the table, about possible
01:12
variants of results.
01:14
This is highly inappropriate, to say it very openly and honestly.
01:18
We do not even know what the result will be.
01:22
Other leaders, including Dutch Prime Minister Dijkshove, have not excluded the idea but
01:27
not committed either.
01:29
Shortly before the meeting, French President Emmanuel Macron spoke with US President Donald
01:34
Trump, but Macron's office would not disclose the details about the discussion.
