The European Union Ambassador to Ukraine, Katarína Mathernová, believes that forming a coalition of countries willing to send their troops to Ukraine is an important step toward providing real security guarantees.
She stated this in an interview with “Ukrainian Radio.”
According to Mathernová, securing a commitment to form a contingent of 30,000 European soldiers “would be a major step for Ukraine.”
She noted that such a commitment “would become an extremely powerful symbol on the path to reliable security guarantees.”
“In other words, if a coalition of willing nations—if the countries you mentioned and others that have expressed willingness to send their soldiers here, to Ukraine—could gather 30,000 troops together, I think that would be a very, very good start,” the ambassador added.
Earlier, The Washington Post unofficially learned that Europe is potentially ready to send up to 30,000 troops to Ukraine, with France prepared to contribute about a third of them.
Publicly, the United Kingdom and Sweden have expressed readiness or potential readiness for such a step.
