A military contingent in the event of a peace agreement is not an absolute necessity. Certain monitoring forces may be needed, and it is possible that Russia and Ukraine will agree on UN forces. This was stated by Polish President Andrzej Duda during a press conference with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, reports UNN.
We can discuss NATO or European peacekeeping forces, whether they will be needed. Some projects talk about this. It is not an absolute necessity. We can look at the situation regarding the demarcation line between Russia and Ukraine. We may need certain monitoring forces, but I do not rule out the possibility that both sides will agree on UN forces. I believe that Russia will agree, and many other countries think so
He also noted that Russia is a member of the UN and may agree.
"I don't think they will be against such a decision," Duda added.
