Rutte Says Foreign Troops Will Be Deployed to Ukraine Right After Conclusion of Peace
11:37 GMT 03.02.2026 (Updated: 14:54 GMT 03.02.2026) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Foreign troops will appear in Ukraine immediately after the conclusion of a peace agreement, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on Tuesday.
As soon as a peace agreement is concluded, armed forces from those NATO countries that agreed to deploy troops will immediately appear in Ukraine, Rutte said speaking at the Ukrainian parliament.
On January 6, the so-called coalition of the willing met in Paris to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine, including the formation of a multinational force to be deployed in the country. The European leaders committed to continuing long-term military support for Ukraine and signed a declaration expressing their intent to send troops to Ukraine in the event of a peace deal with Russia.
On January 28, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also indicated that European troops could be deployed as part of security guarantees for Ukraine.
Not all NATO countries want to participate in the purchase of weapons for Ukraine from the United States, Rutte also said.
"I am absolutely confident that the money will be there, because we all know its crucial, we have now 2/3 of the Allies participating in the PURL [Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List] program. There is an issue of burden sharing and at the moment some allies are doing a lot, a lot of allies are doing something, a few are doing nothing, but most are now involved in PURL but we need a better burden sharing," Rutte told a joint press conference with Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Ukraine.
Rutte added that he intends to discuss with the countries of the bloc new supplies of weapons and ammunition to Ukraine, despite the empty warehouses in Europe.
