Ukraine-Russa-Russia last

The interviews of the “coalition of volunteers” have moved from the discussion of a “peace maintenance force” to a “reassurance force” in Ukraine after the war.

It is not clear what is behind the change of language, but implies a less aggressive approach than when the coalition has been cooked, with Sir Keir Starmer and French president Emmanuel Macron who promise to put the troops on the ground in Ukraine when the war ends.

Speaking alongside Volodymyr Zelensky outside the home of the British ambassador in Paris, Sir Keir said that the coalition of the leaders arranged discussed “peace reassurance”, a softer approach than to enforce peace following an agreement.

Sir Keir and Mr. Zelensky are organizing a short meeting, before a press conference scheduled for the Prime Minister.

Sir Keir Starmer said it is not the time to raise penalties to Russia.

The prime minister stopped falling in line with the EU, who said that a condition of any revoked sanctions is the full retreat of Vladimir Putin troops from Ukraine.

But, speaking after a meeting of the “coalition of will”, Sir Keir said he discussed with the allies and Volodymyr Zelensky “how we can increase sanctions” to support the United States in forcing Russia to the table.

“And, of course, we have further discussed the plans to reassure peace, the coalition of the plans arranged and military and operational, whether they are on earth, air or sea,” added Sir Keir.

What came out more strongly from the meeting was “so many standing countries as they have done for over three years, with Ukraine in this crucial moment”.

“All the necessary time, Volodymyr, you have our support,” Sir Keirvo.

The Prime Minister hosts Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the residence of the UK ambassador to Paris, following the meeting with European leaders to strengthen support for Ukraine.

The couple was previously applauded while leaving the meeting of the “coalition of the will” at the Elysee Palace.

In short comments before their bilateral meeting, Sir Keir said that the discussion between world leaders was “very constructive” and “bigger than we had before”.

“There was absolute clarity that Russia was trying to delay, is playing,” said Prime Minister.

An upset Volodymyr Volodymyr Zelensky thanked Sir Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron for their support after the meetings with the couple at the “The Willing” Gathering coalition.

Speaking outside the home of the British ambassador in Paris, the Ukrainian president highlighted the promises of world leaders to work together on security guarantees.

He also piled up on the prime minister to commit himself to keeping British sanctions on Russia until Vladimir Putin’s troops completely retire from Ukraine, as he has now promised the EU.

The Ukrainian president seemed worried, but the body language between him and Sir Keir was hot and the prime minister embraced Mr. Zelensky before led him inside for an individual meeting.

Sir Keir Starmer has left the multilateral Safety summit of Ukraine with the president of the country Volodymyr Zelensky.

The couple will have a short individual discussion, before the prime minister will hold a press conference a little later this afternoon.

One of the most powerful messages that Sir Keir Starmer can send to the allies in the “coalition of will” is that members must stop buying Russian oil.

A harmful relationship revealed that the EU last year had spent more oil and Russian gas than he had sent to Ukraine in financial aid, despite having promised to liquidate the purchase energy from Russia.

And, asked by The Independent What the prime minister needs to say European allies, Sir Bill Browder said: “The EU needs to put his money where his mouth is and stop buying Russian oil”.

He added: “The United States are talking about lifting penalties on Russia which is insane and absurd and should not be done”.

There is a great question hanging on the “Coalition of Willing interviews,” said former national security councilor Lord Ricketts The Independent.

Crossbench’s peer said that it is not clear what a peace maintenance force would be gathered by the mission of the coalition, despite the rounds of intensive interviews between hundreds of military planners to understand the skills of different countries.

And, in a harmful evaluation of the group’s possibilities that are supported without the support of the United States, he added: “Is it credible that Europe unfolds a military force in the face of Russian hostility and the reluctance of Donald Trump to support?”

As always, the United Kingdom and Europe seem unable to make serious progress in the war in Ukraine without the oniside of the United States.

Sir Keir Starmer faces a crunch press conference after the last round of talks with the “Willing coalition” in Paris.

The prime minister must urgently face growing concerns about the coalition’s ability to establish himself in Ukraine without the explicit support of Donald Trump.

He must also face an apparent lack of will for countries as part of the coalition to put his head over the parapet, with only Great Britain and France who promise to put troops on the ground as part of a peace maintenance force.

The prime minister has held several rounds of interviews with other world leaders to organize the coalition, while hundreds of military planners from all over the world have held multiple meetings this week to discuss skills in terms of weapons, cash and troops.

But despite the talks, tangible progress has elusive the prime minister and the coalition of the provisions seems little closer to taking shape as a real force with the authority.

Political correspondent Archie Mitchell He is on the ground in Paris for the “Coalition of the Willing” interviews:

Sir Bill Browder asked for the “coalition of the provisions” to stop “discussing a hypothetical fire that will not happen” and will seize $ 300 billion of Russian bank reserves frozen in the West.

The human rights activist and anti-Putin activist said that funds should be taken by Europe and delivered to Ukraine to replace the US support in Decald Trump.

Talking to The Independent Among the ongoing interviews on the coalition of Paris’ will, Sir Bill said: “The main thing that all Ukraine allies should do is find a plan on how to replace US military aid for the country.”

Putin has not given any indication that he will stop fighting, he is only playing Trump for everything that is worth. So this coalition of the will is based on the application of a ceased the fire that will not happen. “

He said he is “Clear Trump will launch Ukraine under the bus” and said “there is only one choice, which is confiscating $ 300 billion of reserves of the Russian central bank”.

“This is what the coalition should discuss, not theoretical problems that did not want to cease the fire,” added Sir Bill.
