Can Europe build a peacekeeping force in Ukraine without the US?

The European Union needs the US "on board" in a post-deal mission scenario in Ukraine, according to the Dutch Defence minister Ruben Brekelmans, who spoke to Euronews' Shona Murray.

Last Thursday, ministers from more than 30 countries convened at a meeting led by France and the UK to discuss the formation of a reassurance force for Ukraine, intended to oversee the implementation of any future peace deal.

Key details—such as the number of troops involved and the deployment timeline—remain uncertain. Questions also persist about Europe's capacity to establish a credible peacekeeping force without US support, given many European countries' limited military resources and fiscal constraints.
