Coalition of willing to guarantee the peace of Ukraine

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, has announced a four -point plan to work with Ukraine to end the war and defend the country of Russia.

The United Kingdom, France and other countries will increase their efforts in a “coalition of the provisions” and will seek to involve the United States in their support for Ukraine, he said.

“We are at a crossroads of history today,” Starmer said after an 18 leaders summit, mainly from Europe and including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who said that Ukraine felt “strong support” and the summit showed “European unit at an extremely high level not seen for a long time.”

It comes two days later A burning exchange between the Ukrainian leader and US president Donald Trump In the White House.

“We are all working together in Europe to find a basis for cooperation with the United States for true peace and guaranteed security,” Zelensky said after the summit.

Speaking at a press conference shortly after the leaders meeting, Starmer said four points had been agreed:

• To maintain military aid to Ukraine and continue increasing economic pressure on Russia
• That any lasting peace must guarantee the sovereignty and security of Ukraine and Ukraine must be present in any peace conversation.
• In the case of a peace agreement, to promote the defensive abilities of Ukraine to deter any future invasion
• Develop a “coalition of the provisions” to defend an agreement in Ukraine and guarantee peace after

Sir Keir also announced an additional £ 1.6bn ($ 2 billion) of export finance of the United Kingdom to buy more than 5,000 air defense missiles. This comes over a Loan of £ 2.2 billion To provide more military aid to Ukraine supported by profits of frozen Russian assets.

“We have to learn from the mistakes of the past, we cannot accept a weak agreement that Russia can easily violate, on the other hand, any agreement must be backed by force,” he said.

The prime minister did not declare which countries had agreed to join this coalition of the Willing, but said that those who had committed intensifying the real urgency planning.

The United Kingdom, he said, would support his commitment to “boots on the floor and airplanes in the air.”

“Europe must do heavy work,” he said, before adding that the agreement would need support and had to include Russia, but that Moscow could not be able to issue terms.

“Let me be clear, we agree with Trump on the urgent need for lasting peace. Now we need to unite together,” said Sir Keir.

When asked if the United States under Trump was an unreliable ally, he said: “No one wanted to see what happened last Friday, but I do not accept that the United States is an unreliable ally.”

The countries of the summit included France, Poland, Sweden, Turkey, Norway, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, Finland, Italy, Spain and Canada.

The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said that there was now an urgent need to “re -assemble Europe.”

These feelings were resonated by NATO general secretary, Mark Rutte, who said that the meeting had seen European countries “intensify” to make sure Ukraine has what he needs to “remain in the fight while he has to continue.”

After the summit, Zelensky went to Sandringham where King Carlos III met. Later he spoke with journalists in final press information where He said he was ready to sign a mineral treatment with the United States.

Ukraine was expected to sign the agreement, which would grant the United States access to the rare mineral reserves of Ukraine, during Zelensky’s visit to Washington, but the Ukrainian delegation finally left early after a timply confrontation with Trump in the Oval office.

Earlier on Sunday, the Secretary of the United States Treasury, Scott Besent, warned that an agreement on minerals between the United States and Ukraine could not be signed “without a peace agreement” with Russia.

But when the BBC asked him about the future of the agreement after the summit, Zelensky said he was ready to be signed.

“The agreement on the table will be signed if the parties are ready,” he said.

The Sunday summit concludes a hectic week of diplomacy, which included visits to Washington by French president Emmanuel Macron, Sir Keir and Zelensky.

Zelensky’s meeting, however, culminated in a heated exchanged with Trump and the United States vice president JD Vance, in which the president of the United States accused his Ukrainian counterpart from “Game with World War Tres”.

Trump has said he wants to end the war in Ukraine and has expressed confidence in Russian President Vladimir Putin, to dismay of many of his western allies.

The United States has also begun peace conversations with Russia, excluding Ukraine.

At one point, the American leader accused Ukraine of starting the war, although it was Putin who launched a large -scale invasion of the neighbor of Russia on February 24, 2022.
