Belgium Ready to Join Ukraine Peacekeeping Mission After Ceasefire

Belgium has declared its readiness to participate in a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine once a ceasefire is established, as stated by Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot during a meeting with Benelux foreign ministers in Odesa. Belgium plans to determine the exact military contribution in coordination with its government and defense ministry, joining the 'Coalition of the Willing,' which includes several countries prepared to send troops after hostilities end. The United States, under President Trump, supports security guarantees for Ukraine but rules out deploying American troops on Ukrainian soil, emphasizing that European allies should bear the primary responsibility. The United Kingdom and Germany have also expressed willingness to send troops for peacekeeping roles, with the UK focusing on protecting skies and ports rather than front-line engagement. Luxembourg will contribute by providing satellite communication and space technology support rather than sending troops. These efforts reflect a broad international commitment to supporting Ukraine's sovereignty and security following the anticipated end of Russian aggression.
