Leaders of approximately 30 countries that promised to provide Ukraine security support after reaching a peace agreement with Russia will meet next week to discuss proposals submitted by military officials. This was announced on Friday by French President Emmanuel Macron, TASR writes according to Reuters.
So -called. The coalition willing to be created in February France and Britain is trying to draw plans how it can militarily support Ukraine to discourage Russia from re -attack after reaching the ceasefire. According to European governments, the US security guarantees would be crucial in this effort. However, their President Donald Trump only after a recent summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and a subsequent meeting with European leaders apparently agreed to a certain military participation such as air support.
Discussion of guarantees
“Our staff chiefs have done an important job since Washington’s meeting … and in the last few hours they have again allowed us to finalize the contributions of individual countries,” Macron told reporters at a press conference with German office Friedrich Merz.
The coalition is mainly the EU country, but also Turkey, Canada and Australia. Macron did not say when or where interviews with personal and online participation will be held, however, the Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyj will be on them.
Pressure on Moscow
The commander of the French army said on Friday that the heads of the crews led “positive” deep conversations on Thursday and are now moving detailed proposals to the political level.
Macron and Merz also said after the joint negotiations of their governments in Toulon, France, they also stated that they wanted to raise pressure on Russia for his war against Ukraine. According to them, Putin does not prove willingness to end Moscow’s invasion, AFP reported.
The French leader said that if the Kremlin boss did not meet the Ukrainian president, it would mean that he “cheated” Trump. “The difference between President Putin’s attitudes at international summits and reality in the field shows how insincere it is,” Macron said.
The duration of the conflict
Merz warned that the war in Ukraine could last “many more months” and, in his own words, does not make illusions about its quick end. He reiterated that Putin is obviously willing to meet Greeny. “To be honest, it is not surprising, as it is part of the strategy of this Russian president,” added the office promising that he will remain in the support of Ukraine.
