Head of the Office of the President Andrii Yermak confirmed that negotiations are ongoing regarding the deployment of French and British peacekeepers to Ukraine.

He stated this in a TV interview, as reported by Ukrinform.

"This initiative belongs to French President Emmanuel Macron, and I think you saw that a few days ago, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom met with President Macron, and they discussed this matter.

I would not like to go into the details today. These consultations are ongoing. I can confirm that such negotiations are continuing, and it is undoubtedly very important that they may become part of certain security guarantees," he said.
