Ukraine has decided to send its troops to Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) where they will join the EUFOR/ALTEA peacekeeping mission which lasts from 2004.
This was announced at a briefing on July 30th by the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Oleksiy Danilov.
According to Danilov, the National Security and Defense Council has decided to send the Ukrainian army to join the army from other countries of the European Union (EU) as part of the Altea peacekeeping mission.
As part of the Altea mission, its members monitor the implementation of the Dayton Peace Agreement, signed in 1995 in Paris, which ended the war.
Altea was launched in December 2004, and the United Nations (UN) annually extends its work, while a total of 20 countries participate in this operation.
As it was reported, earlier the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky approved a decree on sending peacekeepers from Ukraine to Africa. More precisely, they will be sent to Congo.
Ukrainian peacekeepers went to BiH for the first time last year, after the EU Council’s Political and Security Committee approved the army’s participation in the Altea mission, Klix.ba writes.
