Volunteer Coalition Meets with Donald Tusk
On the same day, a meeting took place with the so‑called Volunteer Coalition before President Trump’s Friday discussion with Vladimir Putin in Alaska. It was decided that all negotiations must include a clause for a weapon‑suspension. If Russia refuses, sanctions will be tightened. Ukraine is to have solid and credible security guarantees, potentially through the deployment of volunteer forces after hostilities cease. The coalition stressed that “Russia cannot have veto power over Ukraine’s road to the EU and NATO.” They also announced continued collaboration with both Trump and Zelensky.

We must not allow Russia to dictate Europe’s borders or individual states’ foreign policy directions,” wrote the Presidential Office.
