Asked whether New Zealand would be prepared to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire, Christopher Luxon told RNZ that was something he "would be open to".

If there is an ongoing hot war you are not sending peacekeepers, you are sending mercenaries. If the war is over why do you need peacekeepers?

    Russia has said that they won’t allow foreign armies in Ukraine. It’s just a trick by Ukraine to bring NATO into the war and Russia will reject the proposal:

    Who cares what Russia has said. They don’t get to dictate what happens anywhere outside of Russia.

    . It’s speculation at this point whether foreign armies will deploy to Ukraine or not.

    it won’t have to. The US intends to carve up Ukraine and give parts of it to Russia. Then the US has said it’s going to take half of the mineral wealth of Ukraine as payment.

    America doesn’t want to deploy their troops, but we’re dumb enough to send ours.

    they don’t have to. They just send the weapons and the ammo.

      The war in Ukraine has really been an eye-opener as to how many people don’t know the difference between is and ought.

        In international politics there is no is and ought.

        “The strong do what they will, the weak suffer what they must”.

        That’s Kissinger I think. This is the much vaunted judeo christian values and western culture people talk about so much.
