Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for a 100,000 to 150,000-strong multinational force to secure Ukraine after a ceasefire, despite over 600,000 Russian troops occupying the country. European diplomats acknowledge the continent’s current inability to assemble such a force without U.S. involvement, which remains uncertain. One diplomat criticized the U.S. stance as premature, arguing it could embolden Russia to demand more in future negotiations. As the ceasefire talks approach, concerns grow over Europe’s readiness and Russia’s potential to exploit perceived diplomatic concessions.
