Lukashenko: Russia is categorically against any EU peacekeeping forces in Ukraine

 Russia will never agree to EU peacekeeping forces in Ukraine, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said in an interview with American blogger Mario Nawfal in Minsk on 27 February, BelTA learned.

“As for sending peacekeeping forces there [to Ukraine], Russia will never agree to this. At least, this is Russia's position today. Especially since the leadership of the European Union, primarily represented by Germany and France, is taking a very aggressive position at the moment,” the head of state said. “I do not know if Trump in his talks with Macron and Starmer was able to pivot them towards peace and peace talks, but you see they are taking a very aggressive stance on the Russia-Ukraine war. 

“So Russia is categorically against any peacekeeping forces from European states,” the Belarusian leader said.
