“The Danish government is ready to contribute soldiers to a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine if it can help put an end to this bloody war,” Defence Minister Morten Bødskov said, according to the euractiv.com website.
“If it comes to that, Denmark is ready to contribute," he added, as quoted by the website.
"We have decades of experience in this work, and I definitely think that Denmark can contribute to this and make a difference,” Bødskov also said before a NATO meeting in Brussels on Wednesday, according to euractiv.com.
Poland's Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński on Tuesday travelled to Kyiv, together with Czech leader Petr Fiala and Slovenia’s Janez Janša, for face-to-face talks with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky and Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.
During the visit, Poland’s Kaczyński proposed that NATO or "some wider international body" send a peacekeeping mission to Ukraine.
Kaczyński said: "There is a need for a peacekeeping mission by NATO, maybe also by some wider international body” in Ukraine, "a mission that will be able to defend itself, and which will operate on Ukrainian territory."
He called on the world to "back up its words of respect and solidarity” toward Ukraine with “deeds” and “courage," Polish state news agency PAP reported.
