Czech and Slovak leaders ruled out sending troops to Ukraine after any potential ceasefire with Russia, calling Europe’s strategy to end the war a “huge blunder.” Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said deploying foreign soldiers would only provoke Moscow and stressed that Slovakia would support only a monitoring mission, not combat forces.⁣
⁣
Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš echoed those remarks, saying only France and the UK backed the idea of troop deployments, while most European states opposed it. ⁣
⁣
Ukraine has been pushing allies for security guarantees, with Paris and London signalling readiness to deploy peacekeepers if a ceasefire is agreed.⁣
