  • China considers joining peacekeeping forces in Ukraine: Reports

China is in talks with European nations about the possibility of participating in a potential peacekeeping force in Ukraine once the conflict ends, according to a report by the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag on Saturday, citing EU diplomatic sources.

Chinese diplomats have reportedly been inquiring in Brussels about the feasibility and desirability of such a move from the EU's perspective.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated in late February that Russia had not discussed the potential involvement of Chinese peacekeepers in resolving the conflict in Ukraine.

On March 6, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov mentioned that Russia sees no chance for a compromise on the deployment of European peacekeepers in Ukraine.

Earlier in March, media reports indicated that French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer are attempting to form a "coalition of the willing" with 37 countries ready to deploy peacekeepers in Ukraine and offer security guarantees to Kyiv.

Last year, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service warned that the West might deploy around 100,000 troops to Ukraine under the guise of peacekeeping forces to bolster Kiev's combat capabilities.

Peskov emphasized that any foreign peacekeeping force would only be possible with the consent of all parties involved in the conflict.

It is worth mentioning that the Times reported on March 17 that European nations are preparing to deploy over 10,000 troops to Ukraine as part of a "peacekeeping mission", with the United Kingdom and France set to provide a significant portion of the force.

According to a UK military source, the initiative has expanded beyond the initial three countries involved, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer securing commitments from over 35 nations to provide weapons, intelligence, and logistical support.

"It will be a significant force with a significant number of countries providing troops and a much larger group contributing in other ways," the source said.

Moscow has strongly condemned the proposed deployment, warning that any presence of NATO-affiliated troops, even under a peacekeeping mandate, would be seen as a direct threat to Russia.
