European leaders must be ready to deploy military forces to Ukraine to support any peace deal negotiated by US President-elect Donald Trump between Ukraine and Russia, Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna told the Financial Times.
Tsahkna said NATO membership — as requested by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — would be the strongest security guarantee for Ukraine. However, if the US opposes Ukraine's inclusion in the alliance, Europe would need to deploy troops to prevent further Russian aggression.
