If an agreement on peace is reached between Russia and Ukraine, it will require a large international peacekeeping effort, said the Ukrainian president in Davos, Switzerland, during the World Economic Forum on Tuesday, reports The Guardian.

The newly elected US President Donald Trump has promised to quickly put an end to the Ukraine war, but Zelenskyj emphasizes that all types of ceasefire agreements are dependent on guarantees from the West. He describes the figure of 200,000 peacekeeping soldiers as a minimum.

Zelenskyj also urges European leaders not to wonder what Donald Trump will do, but instead to take action to defend their own continent.

Europe must establish itself as a strong, global actor, as an indispensable actor, said the Ukrainian president.

Let us not forget that there is no sea that separates European countries from Russia. European leaders should remember that these battles where North Korean soldiers are participating are now taking place in locations that are geographically closer to Davos than Pyongyang.

On Wednesday, Russia reports that Russian forces have taken over the village of Zapadne in the Ukrainian region of Kharkiv.
