It's not at all clear that you could implement a peacekeeping force like this, because what they're talking about is what's called a tripwire force, where the Russians know if they invade Ukraine fully and there's this international force there, then that would immediately put them in direct conflict with the US, major powers in Europe, NATO. et cetera.

But for that tripwire force to be effective, they need to be backed by the United States. All those countries need to know that if their forces are attacked, the US will come and get their back. And Putin needs to know that, so he doesn't do it.

And also for this peacekeeping force to keep itself safe, to be logistically feasible, they need US air defenses, intelligence, logistics, none of which you can count on from the United States right now. So I Like this is Europe sort of has no recourse at the moment. Zelensky didn't know what to do.
