Sweden considers sending peacekeeping troops to Ukraine

She said this in a comment to Swedish media, according to European Pravda.  

Stenergard responded to the UK's statement about the possible deployment of peacekeepers to Ukraine.  

The Swedish foreign minister stated that they must first agree on a just and lasting peace that respects international law, respects Ukraine, and, above all, ensures that Russia cannot simply retreat, rebuild its forces, and attack Ukraine or another country again in just a few years.

According to her, once such a peace is achieved, Sweden must ensure its support, and at that point, "our government doesn't exclude anything."

Peacekeeping troops in Ukraine: What we know

At the end of January, Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that at least 200,000 peacekeepers would be needed to secure Ukraine after the cessation of hostilities. Later, the president clarified that among the peacekeeping forces in Ukraine, there should be U.S. military personnel.

On February 11, the NYT reported that there are no 200,000 peacekeepers in Europe who could be sent to Ukraine. This is almost three times the size of the entire British army. On the same day, Zelenskyy said that the mission would work if 100,000 to 150,000 European troops were deployed.

According to AP, a group of European countries is secretly developing a plan to send troops to Ukraine. Defense Minister Rustem Umerov had previously confirmed that partners are already working on the idea of a peacekeeping mission.

On February 17, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that he is ready to deploy peacekeeping troops to Ukraine.
