European allies, after talking to American counterparts, came to the conclusion that the current US administration would not guarantee them, which they sought for the “coalitions of volunteers” – says the agency, reminding that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer considered American support to be necessary to stop Russia from breaking the future agreement on a suspension of weapons.
In February, Starmer emphasized that “US security guarantee is the only way to effectively discourage Russia from re -attacking Ukraine.”
Bloomberg previously informed that Great Britain and France tried to convince President Donald Trump to support branches stationed in post -war Ukraine with the help of air force, as well as intelligence assistance and borders monitoring. Both countries still hope that the US will provide intelligence information, as well as supervise the border between Ukraine and Russia – said Bloomberg.
Some European officials also hope that Trump will intervene if the British and French troops stationed in Ukraine were attacked by Russia, but they think that they will not commit to it in writing.

Out of 30 participants of the coalition, which also includes countries from outside Europe (Canada, Australia, Japan and New Zealand), 15 offered strength, including aircraft, war ships and other military equipment – the agency informed in April. Bloomberg emphasized, however, that The number of countries that clearly committed their own armed forces is one -digit.
