According to the newspaper, Paris and London express concerns that Moscow may perceive this initiative as a unilateral measure and reject it. However, the kingdom is not going to completely abandon its plans.

On April 6, the heads of the general staffs of France, Great Britain and Ukraine discussed the possible deployment of peacekeepers to the territories controlled by Kiev.

On March 2, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that discussions in Europe about peacekeepers for Kiev were arrogance, a continuation of Ukraine's incitement against Russia. According to him, the appearance of European peacekeepers in Ukraine will mean that the root causes of the crisis will not disappear for the Russian Federation.
