JAKARTA - NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said the alliance would deploy foreign troops in Ukraine after a peace deal was reached.

"Several European allies have announced that they will deploy troops to Ukraine after an agreement is reached. Troops on the ground, jets in the air, ships in the Black Sea," Rutte said in a speech to the Ukrainian parliament, as reported by Sputnik, Tuesday, February 3.

On January 6, a group called the "voluntary coalition" met in Paris to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine, including the formation of a multinational force that would be stationed in the country.

European leaders committed to continuing long-term military support for Kiev and signed a declaration stating their intention to send troops to Ukraine if a peace agreement with Russia is reached.

However, footage of Rutte's speech broadcast by Rada TV Ukraine, unfortunately, showed a half-empty row of seats and only a few parliamentarians in attendance.

In January, Ukrainian parliamentarian Yaroslav Zheleznyak said the parliament had set a new record in the number of legislators - out of 450 deputies regulated in the Ukrainian constitution, only 393 remained.
