The plan has been resumed since US President Donald Trump held a meeting with Western European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on August 18 at the White House, in an effort to find a peaceful solution for Kiev.
At that time, some sources revealed that about 10 countries will be ready to send troops to Ukraine as part of security guarantees for Kiev.
However, the list of participating countries is still not available, while many of Kiev's allies have spoken out against the plan.
On August 20, the head of the Finnish parliament's Foreign Affairs Commission, Johannes Koskinen, affirmed that Finland will not send troops to Ukraine but will only limit the provision of experts and technical staff.
Koskinen said that Finland's participation will include supportive activities such as maintenance, consultation and coaching. As a country with a common border, Finland certainly has no obligation to send troops on a large scale, Koskinen added.
The pillars of the European Union (EU), including the two European powers of Germany and Italy, are no exception.
Ms. Alice Weidel - leader of the rallying extreme-right Party for Germany (AfD), accused the conservative faction of being a warmongampion after Prime Minister Friedrich Merz expressed interest in reviving plans to send troops to Ukraine when the conflict with Russia ends.
She called the idea "dangerous and irresponsible".
Even German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul - a member of Merz's Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) - warned that sending troops to Ukraine "may be beyond our means."
Meanwhile, when asked to comment on French President Emmanuel Macron's call for allies to deploy troops to Ukraine earlier this week, Italian Deputy Prime Minister Salvini said: "You go if you want to. Put on helmets, wear jackets, hold guns and go to Ukraine.
Mr. Salvini - the popularist leader of the left-wing Federation and also the Italian Transport Minister in the popular and conservative government led by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni - has repeatedly criticized Mr. Macron, especially on the issue of Ukraine.
Prime Minister Meloni has repeatedly been cautious about sending troops to Ukraine and has debated with President Macron, stressing that proposing a defense treaty to Kiev would be westerner than sending troops, as it could easily spark a direct war between NATO and Russia.
For its part, on August 19, Russian Security Council Vice Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said that Russia would not accept security guarantees if they included the deployment of NATO troops on Ukrainian territory.
Even when the plan was first proposed in March, Medvedev warned that the deployment of peacekeeping forces in Ukraine by NATO member states would lead to a full-scale war, specifically a war between NATO and Russia.
