I suppose what will happen is that if chaos in "post-war" Ukraine threatens to spill out into Russia or Poland, threatening energy and industrial infrastructure, then something will have to be done. Putin will of course be blamed for the chaos, and in no position to object at that point. I think Tusk hinted at something in his comments last week:
Quote:"We do not plan to send Polish soldiers to the territory of Ukraine. We will ... give logistical and political support to the countries that will possibly want to provide such guarantees in the future, such physical guarantees."
"Poland ... can and must play a positive role," he said. "By this I mean (ensuring) the closest possible cooperation between Poland, Ukraine, the European Union, the United States, European countries such as Great Britain and Norway. There can be no place for 'either/or' - the European Union or the United States."

Can you hear the sound of blue helmets being polished? Or perhaps we need something new, like a European-run IMF-aligned security force. We could call them the "magenta helmets".
