The Europeans made many loud statements about sending a contingent to Ukraine, but after the US refused to back them up and Moscow promised to strike to kill, France, Britain and their allies backed down,

Ukrainian political scientist Ruslan Bortnik stated this in his video blog, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“This week began with Keir Starmer announcing the de facto completion of the formation of a coalition of countries that could potentially prepare peacekeeping forces for Ukraine and send these peacekeeping forces to Ukraine…

But then the situation seemed to reach a dead end, and by the end of the week it became clear from the published information regarding the fact that Macron had approached the UN with a proposal for the UN to conduct this peacekeeping mission, it became clear that there would be no European peacekeeping mission.

There will be no such thing for two reasons. First, the US refuses to insure this mission, to support it in the air, to provide security guarantees, to protect European military from Russian military. The US refuses.

And secondly, Russia is categorically against it, stating that these forces on the territory of Ukraine will be immediately declared hostile, occupying – and will become a target for attacks. And in such a situation, Western European countries, first of all, France and Britain and their allies, have not yet decided to officially declare such a mission… The idea of ​​European peacekeepers, British-French, this week, it seems, has died in peace,” Bortnik stated.

"This is happening against the backdrop of the fact that EU leaders could not even agree on the allocation of an additional 5 billion euros for military aid to Ukraine this week. Despite the fact that Kaja Kallas, the EU Commissioner, proposed allocating 40 billion to Ukraine. Then they agreed on five, but they could not even agree on five," the Kiev political scientist added to the "betrayal."
