Among the participants are the President of the European Council Antoniu Coshta, the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Lyain, the Secretary General of NATO Mark Rutte, as well as the Prime Ministers of Denmark, Spain and Poland Mette Fredericksen, Pedro Sanchez and Donald Tusk. They were joined by the German Chancellor Olaf Sholts. Also, the Prime Minister of Great Britain Kir Starkmer, the head of the Government of the Netherlands Dick Sokh and the Prime Minister of Italy Georgia Melony. Sending the British Prime Minister Kir Starkmer said that he was “ready and want” to send British troops to Ukraine to ensure any peace agreement. Starmer claims that Great Britain is ready to work on security guarantees for Ukraine, including further support of the Ukrainian military in the amount of 3 billion pounds a year at least until 2030. . I'm not saying: this is frivolous. I very deeply feel the responsibility that is associated with a potential threat to British troops, ”he said. And emphasized that any assistance to Ukraine in ensuring its security contributes to the stability and safety of the entire continent. . France proposed to discuss the possibility of creating security forces that can be posted behind the future ceasefire in Ukraine, two officials who were familiar with the preparation of the meeting told reporters. Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albarez said that now the issue of sending troops to Ukraine is not considered. According to him, the world is still very far from such a step, and the main reason for this is the actions of the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
