#PEACEKEEPERS

The president of the Czech Republic said his country is ready to join a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine, warning “the biggest threat to European security was and still is Russia.”

Sources say Beijing is scoping out the reactions in Brussels.

The commander of the EU peacekeeping force in Bosnia and Herzegovina says his troops are committed to ensuring the country’s “hard-won stability” as tensions rise in the Balkan state.

The United Nations peacekeeping force in Lebanon has claimed that a number of its positions have been ‘deliberately’ targeted by Israeli forces in the last 24 hours, injuring two peacekeepers on Thursday.

Nearly 2,000 Russian troops were deployed to the breakaway region in November 2020.
