(Kyiv Independent) » Zelenskyy met British Adm. Antony Radakin and French Gen. Thierry Burkhard in Kyiv on Saturday, April 5th, to discuss the potential deployment of a multinational peacekeeping force to Ukraine.
The U.K. Ministry of Defence said that officials addressed the structure, size and composition of any future “reassurance force,” while the chief of the defence staff, Adm. Radakin, emphasized that the U.K. would look to “build on the formidable capabilities of the Ukrainian army and put them in the strongest possible position to deter Russian aggression.”
“There is tangible progress and initial details on how the partner security contingent might be deployed,” Zelenskyy said.
Zelenskyy also thanked the “U.K. and France for their leadership” in bringing together countries that would be open to deploying troops to Ukraine to monitor a potential ceasefire.
