Leaders from the “coalition of the willing” gathered in Paris on July 13 to accelerate military and financial support for Ukraine, emphasizing air defense capabilities and heightened economic pressure on Russia. <\/p>\n
French President Emmanuel Macron announced that the meeting served to accelerate the implementation of commitments made in recent months. The coalition is actively strengthening measures to combat Russia’s shadow fleet, with reinsurance forces scheduled to conduct exercises in neighboring countries in the coming months.<\/p>\n
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, speaking alongside French, German, and Ukrainian leaders, urged coalition members to prioritize Ukraine’s air defense needs. He emphasized that the coalition must do everything possible to protect the country from ongoing aggression.<\/p>\n
Starmer confirmed that the United Kingdom will join an EU-led support package for Ukraine, which includes a 90 billion euro loan. This initiative is designed to provide critical defensive support while offering the UK defense industry access to new contracts, thereby enhancing British national security.<\/p>\n
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that approximately 40 participants attended the Paris summit. The members have agreed to host the next meeting of the coalition within Ukraine.<\/p>\n
The summit, held on July 13, included heads of state and government, including Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, and EU representatives Antonio Costa and Ursula von der Leyen.<\/p>\n
The coalition issued a statement confirming their intent to maintain military and financial support for Ukraine while intensifying pressure on Russia. They maintain that any lasting peace must be reached only with Ukraine’s consent.<\/p>\n
The participants expressed support for direct negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, involving the US and Europe, to establish a ceasefire based on current contact lines. They stipulated that peace agreements must be negotiated with Ukraine, ensure European and NATO security interests, and keep Russian assets frozen until Moscow compensates for war damages.<\/p>\n
The coalition pledged to continue supporting Ukraine as long as necessary. They committed to strengthening sanctions and closing loopholes to prevent Russia from bypassing restrictions, specifically targeting the shadow fleet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
