Alarmed that U.S. priorities lie elsewhere, some European countries are working on a plan to send troops to Ukraine to enforce any peace deal with Russia.

A group of European countries is secretly developing a plan to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine. Europe is concerned that US security priorities are focused elsewhere, according to The Associated Press.

The driving force behind peacekeeping efforts is Britain and France, but details remain limited as countries involved in discussions are cautious not to reveal too much, fearing it could give Vladimir Putin an advantage if he agrees to negotiate.
