European Union drawing up ‘precise’ troop deployment plan for Ukraine
The troops would be part of the security guarantees for Ukraine after the conflict with Russia concludes, with support from the United States, as per the report.
Possibly, tens of thousands of troops would receive aid, including intelligence and surveillance support from Washington, according to the report.
“President Trump assured us there will be a U.S. presence as part of the backstop,” von der Leyen told the FT.
She added the U.S. assurances of support “were very clear and repeatedly affirmed.”)
The arrangements were agreed upon during a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and senior European leaders in August.
