Polish PM says US may deploy troops to Ukraine for postwar security


(MENAFN) Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Tuesday that the United States is prepared for a potential deployment of its forces to Ukraine as part of postwar security arrangements.

Speaking after talks between European and Canadian leaders, Tusk noted that Washington’s security guarantees for Kyiv could “include the presence of American troops along the contact line between Ukraine and Russia,” according to reports.

“These fairly unambiguous declarations have appeared for the first time. We will see how consistent our partners on the other side of the Atlantic will be,” Tusk said.

The prime minister expressed cautious optimism, saying that "peace is on the horizon" in the “coming weeks.”

“There is no doubt that things have happened that give grounds for hope that this war can end, and quite quickly, but it is still a hope, far from 100% certain,” he emphasized.

Tusk also noted that Kyiv might still have to make compromises on territorial matters, stressing that any such decisions would require approval from the Ukrainian people.

He added, “It is obvious that this possible consent must be conditional on real, reliable security guarantees for Ukraine after the possible conclusion of peace.”
