Discussions arise concerning security assurances for Ukraine's protection
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace on Wednesday evening for crucial consultations. This meeting comes ahead of a coalition of willing nations, supporting Ukraine, gathering in Paris on Thursday at 10:00 AM.
The discussions will centre around the security guarantees for Ukraine, a topic that has been under preparation since the Ukraine summit at the White House in mid-August. The preparatory work has been led by the military chiefs of various countries.
According to French President Macron, the military preparations for these security guarantees have been completed. The guarantees are expected to involve strengthening the Ukrainian army, the deployment of ground troops for peacekeeping in Ukraine, and the potential involvement of the USA in these security measures.
However, no concrete announcements have been made regarding which country will contribute in what way and with which military means to the security guarantees. President Zelenskyy believes that these security guarantees will translate into practical support, not just theoretical promises.
The European leaders are prepared to provide security guarantees to Ukraine as soon as a peace agreement is signed. This readiness to act follows Russia's persistent refusal of a peaceful solution and continued aggressive war. The meeting aims to discuss the consequences for Russia due to its actions.
The coalition, led by France and Britain, has the support of President Zelenskyy, who places his faith in this group. After the consultations in Paris, it can be said that the coalition is ready for a robust, lasting peace for Ukraine and for the Europeans.
The decision on further political approval of these military security guarantees for Ukraine will be made by the participating Western leaders, including French President Macron, British leader Keir Starmer, and Ukrainian President Zelensky, with coordination involving the USA and European countries. The outcome of these discussions will be crucial in shaping the future of Ukraine's security.
