Macron: Peace will have to guarantee the safety of Ukraine
The leader of France reminded that Kiev already on March 11 accepted the proposal of “total and unconditional” suspension of weapons, while the Kremlin hesitates, puts conditions, buys time and continues his war. “
“Peace will have to guarantee the safety of Ukraine. We worked on this at meetings in Paris, London and we are working today in Kiev,” Macron emphasized.
“Coalition of the Volunteers” in Kiev
“Coalition of the Volunteers” was created on March 2 this year. On the initiative of the Prime Minister of Great Britain Starmer in order to develop a comprehensive support plan for Ukraine, ensure its constant access to weapons and take action to end the war. It includes 33 countries – mainly European, as well as Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Türkiye. The coalition did not include USA, some Balkan countries, Hungary and Slovakia.
The “Coalition of the Volunteers” enables NATO members to jointly operate outside the formal structure of the alliance, which avoids the potential veto of countries that do not want to engage in military projects for Ukraine.
