Indian soldiers will never go to Ukraine for peacekeeping mission, because India never gives anything in return for anything. This is what US President Donald Trump has to say.
Actually, President Trump had said this when the discussion was going on in America’s Presidential Palace i.e. White House to stop the Russia-Ukraine war. Last year i.e. in 2025, Trump and Vice President JD Vance were discussing to stop the Ukraine war, then this conversation was going on. Vance had suggested sending Indian troops on a peacekeeping mission to Ukraine, because India has good relations with Russia, but Trump put an end to this speculation with his statement regarding India.
Revelation in the book published on Trump
Now this discussion has become a part of a book released after Donald Trump came to power in America for the second time. The name of the book is ‘Regime Change’, which has been written by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. The book has written in detail about the controversial meeting of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky with Trump and Vance at the White House. The background of the meeting is also given. It has been written in the book about sending Indian soldiers to Ukraine in one such background meeting.
What did Trump say about India in the book??
It is written in the book that in the meeting, Trump and Vance were discussing with the American envoy related to the Russia-Ukraine war. During this time, there was talk about deploying the army of another country for security guarantee in Ukraine. It was decided in the meeting that troops from England or any other NATO country could not be sent to Ukraine. Because Russia dislikes NATO countries. In such a situation, Vance suggested sending soldiers from India or Saudi Arabia as peacekeepers, but Trump clearly refused.
According to the book, President Donald Trump said, ‘Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is very dear to him, but Indians do not pay for anything after taking it.’ It is true that for the last four decades, India has not deployed its soldiers as peacekeeping forces in any other country.
Indian peace-keeping force was sent to Sri Lanka for the last time
The last time the Indian Army was sent to Sri Lanka as a peace keeping force was in the 80s, but the reality is that India is in the top category in the participation of soldiers in the United Nations (UN) peacekeeping force. India has made it clear that only under the leadership of the United Nations, Indian soldiers can be sent to another country to calm a war or civil war, but India will not interfere in the ongoing war between any two countries.
