'Coalition of Willing' and US to Discuss Security Guarantees for Ukraine
Leaders of the ‘coalition of the willing’ agreed at a meeting on Tuesday to hold talks with the United States in the near future on ‘reliable security guarantees’ for Ukraine.
The Gaze reports on it, referring to the British government website.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said during a virtual meeting of the ‘coalition of the willing’ that all its members ‘share a common goal – to ensure a just and lasting peace for Ukraine.’
‘In the coming days, the planning groups of the “coalition of the willing” will meet with their American colleagues to continue preparing specific plans to provide reliable security guarantees and prepare for the deployment of peacekeeping forces in the event of a cessation of hostilities,’ Downing Street said.
Among other topics discussed at the meeting of the ‘coalition of the willing’ was the strengthening of sanctions pressure on Russia until it ‘demonstrates a willingness to take serious measures to end its illegal invasion’ of Ukraine.
The video conference of the ‘coalition of the willing’ was a continuation of yesterday's meeting in Washington and a continuation of consultations on security guarantees for Ukraine.
French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer believe that the most important outcome of the White House talks was the US's willingness to work on security guarantees for Ukraine.
According to media reports, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will head a working group of national security advisers and NATO representatives that will develop a draft security guarantee for Ukraine.
