H.E. Ms Larysa Gerasko:

First, when we are talking about an EU-level peacekeeping operation, it is impossible while Russia has a seat on the UN Security Council. There is no doubt that Russia will always veto any resolution on the deployment of a peacekeeping operation in Ukraine. Of course, we can rely on our partners, both our EU and non-EU partners, but not under the umbrella of the UN Security Council. That is pretty obvious.
