With Kyiv suffering battlefield setbacks and U.S. President-elect Donald Trump vowing to bring the war in Ukraine to a swift end, Washington's allies have begun to grudgingly consider the possibility of a peace deal that would include territorial concessions.

While far from ideal for Kyiv and its partners, a growing number of countries, particularly those bordering Russia, believe that any such ¡°land for peace¡± agreement would prompt Europe to solidify security guarantees for Kyiv should Trump oppose Ukraine joining NATO.

This includes Estonia, whose Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna told the last month that a coalition of willing European nations, possibly led by Britain or Poland, could put ¡°boots on the ground¡± in Ukraine.
