The other day, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that one of the elements of security that would allow Russia to be contained would be sending a 200,000-strong contingent of Western peacekeepers to Ukraine.

As NBN reports with reference to an exclusive video material from the Associated Press, President Volodymyr Zelensky explained that any deal between Kiev and Moscow without security guarantees from the allies would only be a harbinger of repeated Russian aggression.
Based on Zelensky's words, our country's entry into the North Atlantic Alliance is the “cheapest” option for partners and a key one for Ukraine, as it simultaneously strengthens both the EU and US President Donald Trump's position in the geopolitical format.
In addition, the guarantor assured that Ukraine's membership in NATO would be a clear signal to the Kremlin that “Russia decides nothing,” in particular, who should be in the Alliance, and to whom, no. Also, Zelensky believes that Ukraine's accession to NATO will be a big victory for Trump.
Separately, the President of Ukraine noted that the 800,000-strong Ukrainian Armed Forces could provide an additional bonus for the Alliance, especially if Trump intends to bring home the American troops stationed on Russian territory.
