  • Trump and other leaders reportedly discussed the plan but it's a trial balloon that shouldn't have gotten far off the ground

The article from MSN discusses the proposal by French President Emmanuel Macron to send European peacekeepers to Ukraine, an idea that has been met with significant criticism and skepticism. The suggestion comes amidst ongoing tensions and conflict in Ukraine, particularly with Russia. Critics argue that deploying peacekeepers could escalate the conflict rather than resolve it, potentially drawing NATO and European countries directly into the war. The article highlights concerns about the feasibility and implications of such a move, including the risk of direct military confrontation with Russia, the lack of a clear mandate or strategy for peacekeeping, and the potential for increased hostilities. Furthermore, it points out the division among European leaders, with some like German Chancellor Olaf Scholz showing reluctance to engage in actions that could provoke Russia further. The overall tone of the article suggests that while the intention might be to stabilize the region, the deployment of peacekeepers could lead to unintended and dangerous consequences.
