American private military firms could be deployed to Ukraine as part of a long-term peace plan.
Donald Trump is in talks with European allies about allowing armed contractors to help build fortifications to protect American interests in the country.
The plan is being devised as a workaround after the US president promised that American troops would not be stationed in Ukraine.
US contractors could be deployed to help rebuild Ukraine’s front-line defences, new bases and protect US businesses.

American military "contractors" are still Americans.
Let the Europeans position THEIR personnel in Ukraine. They're practically RIGHT NEXT DOOR, while we are an ocean away.
Just because Trump thinks it, doesn't mean we all need to fall in line like sheep.
Zelensky is ordered to get Americans into Ukraine as human shields
Prob to try to hide behind as provocations continue to poke the Bear
As if American “contractors” and volunteers had not already been dying in Ukraine
Oh, fer...
Consider the source, folks.
Might I gently suggest you not believe everything you read coming from the UK’s Deep State?
The sheep dipping of US forces may soon commence..
I do not like any of this..
NOT what I voted for :-/
“As if American “contractors” and volunteers had not already been dying in Ukraine”
A salient point indeed.
I smell BS.
Just quit it POTUS. This will destroy your Presidency. Getting us totally out of that stupid mess is one of the reasons people voted for you.
A huge mistake and legacy killer.
WTF? And what do they call the mercenary army that is there now?
Friggan propaganda machine news organizations...
But possibly partially true.
Just guarding against those who think Trump is infallible.
He can, and has made mistakes. Although even his mistakes are usually better than anything the Left puts forth.
A quote for you...

I can guarantee you that the people running enemedia worldwide are very familiar with that one.

The quick advancement of artillery technology beginning in the 1850s provoked an arms race between artillery and military architecture. Rifled artillery could now fire out of range of fortress guns, so military architects began placing forts in rings around cities or in barriers to block approaching armies. These forts were vulnerable to new artillery shells, which could penetrate earth to destroy masonry underground. In response, star forts evolved into polygonal forts, mostly underground and made of concrete with guns mounted in armoured, rotating casemates. Combining rings and barriers, France created a vast fortified zone on its border with Germany, while Belgium began construction of the National Redoubt in 1888.
The M-Gerät designed in 1911 as an iteration of earlier super-heavy German siege guns intended to break modern fortresses in France and Belgium and entered production in 1912. Test firing began in early 1914 and the gun was estimated to be finished by October 1914. When the First World War broke out, the two M-Gerät guns, still prototypes, were sent to Liège, Belgium, and destroyed Forts Pontisse and Loncin. German soldiers bestowed the gun with the nickname “Big Bertha”, which then spread through German newspapers to the Allies, who used it as a nickname for all super-heavy German artillery. The Paris Gun, a railway gun used to bomb Paris in 1918, has historically been confused for the M-Gerät.
Krupp eventually built 12 M-Gerät howitzers.
The M-Gerät had to be assembled for firing and for transport was dismantled and towed in five wagons. These wagons, weighing 16 to 20 t (16 to 20 long tons; 18 to 22 short tons) each, were designed to hold a specific portion of the M-Gerät, sans the gun carriage, which was its own wagon. These were towed by purpose-built, gas-powered tractors as the wagons were too heavy to be pulled by horses. To move across open country, the wagon wheels were fitted with articulated feet called radgürteln to reduce their ground pressure. Under optimal circumstances, the tractors and wagons could move at 7 km/h (4.3 mph).

US and EU people will be snatched and taken as hostages by irregulars.
Ask Israel and HAMAS about how that works.
There is a greater “ chance” China would send ” Peacekeeping “ forces to Ukraine than the U.S.
Vlad has repeatedly stated no western forces of any kind will be deployed into Ukraine…he has done a very good job of eliminating all the western mercenaries that went to Ukraine….and after the West tricked Russia with the failed Minsk agreements, he won’t be fooled again.
Time to fully realize Vlad holds all the cards, like it or not.

Dead, eliminated. Foreign mercenaries have been largely eliminated, even the Colombian mercenaries are no longer going there.
More than 300 Colombian nationals who joined the Ukrainian side as mercenaries have died during the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, according to Colombian Foreign Minister Luis Gilberto Murillo. The grim statistic highlights the global reach of a conflict that has now entered its 1,000th day, leaving over 30,000 civilians dead and sparking fears of nuclear escalation.
“Speaking to RCN Radio, Murillo confirmed that approximately 310 Colombians have been killed in the conflict, based on information provided by the Russian government. “We have some records, but what the Russian government informed us—and this requires verification—is that about 500 Colombians participated on the Ukrainian side. Of these, around 100 have returned to Colombia, 100 have deserted, and roughly 300 to 310 have been killed,” Murillo said….”
