Ukraine needs at least 200,000 peacekeepers to guarantee security – Zelenskyy

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy supports the idea of introducing peacekeeping contingents as part of security guarantees, but at least 200,000 European peacekeepers are needed to prevent a future possible attack by the Russian Federation.

"I support the idea of contingents as part of security guarantees. Because if they [the Russian Federation] have an army of 1.5 million, and if we have half as many, it means that we need contingents with a very significant number of soldiers," Zelenskyy said during a conversation with representatives of the international Media Council at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos.

The President added that at least 200,000 peacekeepers are needed from all Europeans.

"Some 200,000 minimum, otherwise nothing," Zelenskyy said.
