In the event of a peace agreement, the possibility of sending a contingent to Ukraine under the auspices of the UN from countries in Asia and South America is being considered. This was reported by UNN with reference to Repubblica.
Although peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine have not actually started yet, a "guarantee plan" is being put forward in case a truce between Moscow and Kyiv is actually signed. The plan, which unfolds along the New York-Brussels-Kyiv-Moscow axis
As Repubblica writes, Putin has made it clear that he will never allow the presence of NATO, the European Union or Europe in a broader sense on his territory and borders.
The idea is to form the first peacekeeping contingent under the auspices of the UN, whose Secretary General António Guterres attended a meeting of the European Council in Brussels on Thursday. So, "blue helmets" from Asia and South America
As Repubblica writes, the idea is to involve soldiers from India, Brazil, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. It is assumed that this peacekeeping operation will cover the Russian-Ukrainian border. Therefore, ground operations for NATO and Europeans are closed.
Then there will be a second contingent. And instead, it will consist of the so-called "voluntary" residents of the Old World and its allies. In the first row will be Great Britain, France, Germany, Canada, as well as Italy. It should be noted that none of the countries that participated in the London and Paris summits have ever directly ruled out their participation
Repubblica writes that in any case, this second group will be used to control the borders between the EU and Ukraine. In fact, they will deal with strips of land in Poland, Bulgaria, Slovakia and, possibly, Hungary.
Therefore, the troops are on the ground, but not in areas directly involved in the war. An additional deterrent for Russia in case it wants to get closer to the territories of the Union.
In the middle between the two spaces will be the Ukrainian army, which, however, will need to be strengthened and supported. For this reason, both Europeans and Americans would be willing to actively ensure the defense of Kyiv. Let's take into account one aspect: the Ukrainian army is already used to real war on the battlefield, the European one is much less

It is reported that the fourth factor is the United States itself. Trump has repeatedly stated that he does not intend to participate in any mediation or peacekeeping forces in Ukraine. However, the US will be ready to provide support, all the logistical and technological components necessary for these operations. For example, "sky control", radar and satellite. And it will not be free intervention. Trump makes no secret of the fact that this assistance is conditional on an agreement with Zelensky on rare earth metals, that is, those minerals that are necessary for the production of all high-tech goods, which Ukraine is especially rich in.
At this point, the Americans would be directly interested in maintaining a situation of stability and peace precisely for the development of these deposits.
However, this four-stage plan can only be implemented after the conclusion of a real peace agreement. Therefore, a ceasefire is not enough. And the uncertainty regarding Putin's intentions – and even Trump's – is very high. Also because the EU found itself in a special situation: the American president does not accept dialogue with the leaders of the Union, but only with some governments. Putin does not communicate with representatives of the EU or national executive bodies. At this stage, the Old World is forced to isolate itself. For the same reason, strengthening its defense becomes a necessity
Addition
Spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Georgy Tikhy reported that several countries have officially declared their readiness to send military contingents to Ukraine, and a corresponding list has already been formed.
On March 20, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that there is currently a different vision regarding the military contingent for Ukraine, because there are countries that are ready to provide it in the event of repeated aggression from the Russian Federation, there are those who agree to be located on the border, and there are those who only want to be at sea or in central large cities. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a common vision.
