Sweden would consider contributing to post-war peacekeeping forces in Ukraine, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said on Monday, adding that negotiations would need to progress before any such decision was taken.
The minister's comments came after British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was ready to send British troops to Ukraine for peacekeeping duties as he tried to show the U.S. that European nations should have a role in talks on ending the war.
Asked by Reuters whether Sweden would be willing to contribute to these forces, Kristersson said: "We will take part in those discussions and of course that is absolutely a possibility," he said on the sidelines of a military exercise in Sweden's capital.
