"My country is ready to provide the necessary support. We are talking about very concrete numbers of our military troops, but there should be commitment from all countries in this coalition to provide this support," Nausėda told Bloomberg Television in Brussels on Friday.

However, the head of state noted that all countries participating in „the coalition of the willing“ would have to reach an agreement on the deployment of peacekeepers. He added that it would be premature to name exact figures while discussions are still ongoing.

In March, the West started considering sending peacekeepers to Ukraine once a peace agreement is reached between Ukraine and Russia. President’s adviser Marius Česnulevičius said at the time that at first it would have to be clear what kind of a mission that would be and who would lead it.

The adviser added that before deciding on sending troops Lithuania would have to evaluate its safety and potential threats.
