European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has confirmed that Europe is developing “pretty precise plans” to send multinational troops to Ukraine as a post-conflict security measure, she said in an interview with the Financial Times. Though von der Leyen tells the FT that “deploying troops is one of the most important sovereign decisions of a nation,” and that the “sense of urgency is very high,” reactions across Europe remain divided. While these plans indicate Europe’s growing eagerness to shoulder responsibility for Ukraine’s security, they also expose deep questions about feasibility. Von der Leyen’s proposal aims to ensure that, if a ceasefire or peace deal is reached, Ukraine will not be left defenseless. Ultimately, von der Leyen’s “pretty precise plans” could indicate a legitimate step toward ending the war and the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine if European capitals can secure military support for the nation moving forward.
