Despite the fact that publicly Europe and the United States have come out with a united position regarding Ukraine, welcoming security guarantees with American support, Washington will not join the joint statement on security guarantees, the online publication notes.
At the summit, which brought together leaders and security representatives of Ukraine's allied countries, the United States was represented by Donald Trump's special envoy and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, who has no official status in the White House.
Both “highly praised the work of the Europeans in developing a plan that will provide security guarantees for ongoing peace negotiations with [страной-агрессором] Russia,” the article says. According to Witkoff, in Paris, “work on security protocols has largely been completed.”
As a result, the final summit declaration was signed only by a “coalition of the willing.” Details of U.S. participation in a multinational force for Ukraine were removed from an earlier draft reviewed by POLITICO. That version stipulated that the U.S. would “support forces in the event of an attack” and provide intelligence and logistics assistance, journalists say.
Context
On January 6, following a meeting of the “coalition of the willing,” Ukraine, France and Great Britain signed a declaration of intent on future deployment of multinational forces in Ukraine after the end of the war. French President Emmanuel Macron said that within the framework of the “coalition of the willing,” a mechanism for monitoring the ceasefire has been laid, which the United States will have to ensure.
