One of the main innovations that emerged from the summit is Lo deployment by the members of the coalition of a considerable force in central Ukraine, somewhere along the Dnepr riverfar from the front lines. As reported by the AP, the proposal – promoted by Paris – is not the only one on the table. As a confided by an Elysée official, other possible examination options are the deployment of a support force even further from the fronts, in the extreme west of Ukraine or in a nearby country.
According to what emerged, the French president Emmanuel Macron he phoned the American president Donald Trump “First” of the top of the willing and immediately after the meeting between the transalpine leader and the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. Among the first recorded comments that of the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer who accused the Russian president Vladimir Putin to make “empty promises” on the cessation of the fire in Ukraine. “Unlike Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Putin has shown that he is not a serious counterpart in these peace interviews. He plays with the ceased the naval fire agreed in the Black Sea, despite the participation in good faith of all parties, while continuing to inflict devastating attacks in the Ukrainian people,” added Starmer.
Great sharing on the dossier penalties: is not the time to make favors for Russia. Starmer said that it is not the time to revoke the sanctions against Russia, on the same wavelength the German chancellor Olaf Scholz, who underlined that taking away the sanctions in Moscow at this moment would be a “serious mistake”. Speaking in Paris at a meeting of European leaders who support Ukraine, Scholz said that “it makes no sense to end the sanctions until peace actually reached”. “Unfortunately we are still very far from this,” he added. “Remove the penalties from Russia now would be a disaster for diplomacy. The sanctions are one of the few real tools that the world has to put pressure on Russia so that it undertakes serious interviews” as far as Zelensky reiterated: “What is the sanctions apart? If the penalties are weakened and Russia violates the agreement, restoring the penalties will be incredibly slow and difficult. that the sanctions really work ”.
For the moment no comments from Giorgia Melonibut the Foreign Minister intervened in the morning Antonio Tajani For an analysis on the hypothesis of troops in Kiev: “We have said, from the beginning, that we will not send Italian soldiers to other missions” outside the UN. In his speech to the Committees gathered foreign and defense of the Chamber and Senate, the secretary of Forza Italia added that as Italians, “we are ready to do our part and increase national expenses to strengthen the European pillar of NATO”. Because “spending on the defense does not mean being warfondai, but guaranteeing the safety of our citizens, which is a much wider concept of simple rearmament”.
Recall that some operational proposals had emerged from the London meeting of last week, starting from that of a military force that operates on four different levels so structured: in the demilitarized area within the country of Zelensky to protect cities, ports and infrastructures, there would be the blue helmets of non -European countries members of the UN. The second line would be occupied by Ukrainian forces. The third ring would be composed of the contingents of the coalition of the willing launched by British premier Keir Starmer. The contingent could be deployed inside Ukraine but also outside. Finally, the American backstop as the last guarantee for both Ukrainians and Europeans.
