“A ”coalition of the determined” has said it is ready to deploy deterrent forces in Ukraine after the war ends, according to a statement on the British government’s website.
“Today, President (of France Emmanuel) Macron and Prime Minister (of Britain Keir) Starmer jointly hosted a virtual meeting of a group of leaders of the ‘Coalition of the Resolute’ with the participation of President Zelensky,” the statement said.
Specifically, the leaders met on Sunday to discuss support for Ukraine and next steps in peace talks following President Donald Trump’s meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska.
The statement said the leaders praised Trump’s commitment to provide security guarantees for Ukraine, in which the “Resolute Coalition” will play a vital role through a multinational force in Ukraine.
“They reiterated their readiness to deploy support forces after the cessation of hostilities, as well as to help secure Ukraine’s skies and seas and rebuild Ukraine’s armed forces,” the statement said.
In addition, the leaders reaffirmed their continued support for Ukraine and praised Zelensky’s desire to achieve a just and lasting peace.
Also, Macron and Starmer informed the leaders that they too will travel to Washington tomorrow to meet with Trump and Zelensky.
As reported, Zelensky’s plane has already left for Washington.
