About 30 mainly European countries have offered to provide ground troops, aircraft, naval ships, intelligence for the so-called coalition of the willing, which will introduce peacekeepers after the end of russian aggression against Ukraine.
This was reported by Bloomberg on Thursday, March 20.
According to the publication, Ukraine's allies discussed measures that will ensure the security of Ukraine after the cessation of hostilities. Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan have also joined the coalition of the willing. The UK Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard said that the discussions focused on where Typhoon aircraft would be stationed, how they could be refueled and serviced, and how they would be located next to the resources offered by other allies.
“We want the coalition of the willing to be a credible force that will allow Ukraine to enjoy a lasting peace, and that will help Ukraine rebuild and rearm and deter russia from thinking that it can re-engage and go again,” Pollard said.
Military planners are discussing where the planes will be refueled and based, how they fit into the overall military activity on the ground, and who will provide engineering support. The participants are deciding what assets or troops will be moved to Ukraine to ensure that NATO’s eastern flank is not left open.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on February 17, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his readiness to deploy British troops to Ukraine to enforce a future peace agreement.
On March 10, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen and Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said that Denmark was ready to send peacekeepers to Ukraine.
Recall that France, Germany, Great Britain and other European countries are ready to send their troops to ensure a truce between the aggressor country of russia and Ukraine.
