Polish Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz warns that foreign troop deployment in Ukraine may not ensure peace, citing Poland’s UN peacekeeping experience in Lebanon.
Poland’s defence minister, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, has cautioned that the presence of foreign military forces in Ukraine would not necessarily secure lasting peace.
Drawing from Poland’s experience in international peacekeeping, he referred to the country’s participation in the UN mission in Lebanon, where, despite the presence of foreign troops, stability remains elusive.
His remarks come amid growing discussions on potential European military involvement in Ukraine, a prospect that has stirred debate among NATO and EU members. The idea of direct deployment has raised concerns over escalation risks and its actual effectiveness in restoring peace.
As diplomatic efforts continue, Kosiniak-Kamysz’s statement highlights the complexities of military intervention and its uncertain role in conflict resolution.
