Russia-Ukraine war: What’s a ‘coalition of the willing’, Europe’s new plan? | Russia-Ukraine war News

British Prime Minister Kiir Starmer A announced “Al -Raghiba Alliance” He will meet to take a peace plan to end the war in Ukraine and bring it to US President Donald Trump to support him, days after a general dispute between Trump and Ukrainian President Folodimir Zellinsky at the White House, indicating a rupture of Washington’s support for Kiev.
In contrast, Zelenskyy received support assurances on Sunday from his European allies at a London security summit in a hurry by Starmer, who received the Ukrainian leader With a hug.
Friday, a meeting between Trump and Zelinski Tire It was also broadcast live. An argument broke out with Trump, a time, Zelinski, Accuse From “Gambling with World War III”.
The oval office tensions followed a war of words between Trump and Zelinski, who cut his visit to the United States short and immediately resorted to Europe.
But what is the “coalition of those who want”, which may be part of and can help Ukraine useful without our support?
What did Starmer say?
After the security summit, Starmer said that the participants agreed to four points:
- European leaders are ready to join efforts and develop a peace plan for Ukraine to bring it to the United States. “This is not a moment for more talk. It is time to act, time to escalate, leadership and unification about a new and lasting plan for a just and lasting peace.”
- Any permanent effort to peace should support the sovereignty of Ukraine, and Ukraine should be at the negotiating table.
- Starmer and other European leaders pledged to continue the flow of military aid to Ukraine.
- If a peace agreement is reached, the defense capabilities will be strengthened in Ukraine. The British Prime Minister said: “In the event of a peace agreement, we will continue to enhance Ukraine’s defensive capabilities to deter any future invasions.”
Starmer also announced a new agreement of 1.6 billion pounds (2 billion dollars) with Ukraine on Sunday, which will allow KYIV to spend the amount in export financing on 5,000 air defense missiles.
What is the alliance of those who want?
The coalition from those wishing to a temporary international partnership that was created to resolve a specific issue or achieve a specific military or political goal.
It seems that the coalition announced by Starmer had its first mission to form a plan to end the war in Ukraine, which provides security guarantees Kiev but is palatable to Trump – who made it clear that the United States or NATO will not provide any such security umbrella.
It is not clear whether Starmer also means that the coalition will take responsibility for implementing future security guarantees or whether member states will put shoes on the ground in Ukraine for this purpose.
Unlike an binding international body such as the European Union or NATO, the coalition of those who wish to include countries that are voluntarily or well.
European leaders have not revealed the details of what this peace plan would require. Before the summit, French President Emmanuel Macron told Le Figaro newspaper that the United Kingdom and France would want to suggest a ceasefire on the sea and air attacks for one month in addition to attacks on energy infrastructure. France and the United Kingdom also indicated that they are open to sending peacekeepers to Ukraine as part of any ceasefire.
Who is part of the alliance?
Starmer announced that the United Kingdom, France and other countries will join the coalition without specifying other countries.
However, on Sunday, leaders or representatives of 12 European countries joined Starmer at the security summit in London. They are: Zelinski, Macron, Dutch Prime Minister Dick Chouf, Czech Prime Minister Peter Valla, German Chancellor Olaf Schools, Danish Prime Minister Metty Friedriksen, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Crescentson, Norwegian Minister of Ministers, Minister of Ministers, Mirin, Mirin, Ministers, Mirin, Mirin, Mirin, Mirin, Mirin, Mirin, Merin, Merin, Merenz, Merenz, Merenz, State, Al -Fateh, Tusk.
European Commission President Ursula von der Layen, President of the European Council Antonio Costa, outgoing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Vian, and NATO Secretary -General Mark Retty at the summit.
What prompted the Starmer Declaration?
Timothy Ash, a co -fellow of the Russian and Eurasia program in Chatham House, said this announcement “it is clear that it is because of what happened in the White House on Friday.” “Europe needed an escalation in terms of the peace process, and it did.”
He added that it makes sense to ascend Starmer as a natural leader in the situation because the United Kingdom is not part of the European Union and it is a bridge between the United States and Europe.
The European Union, as a whole, is in its efforts to support Ukraine through the presence of Hungary, which resisted Prime Minister, Victor Urban, to support Kiev unconditionally.
In a message to Costa on Saturday, Urban suggested that the European Union begin direct discussions with Russia. “I am convinced that the European Union – in the wake of the example of the United States – should enter into direct discussions with Russia about the ceasefire and sustainable peace in Ukraine,” he wrote. “Therefore, I suggest not to try to adopt written conclusions around Ukraine.”
Will Starmer Ukraine help?
Ash said that the recent Starmer’s movements were “good” because Europe and Ukraine were not involved during the previous peace negotiations between the United States and Russia in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. “They should have been, and now they are.”
After leaving London, Zelinski said he had left “clear support for Europe.”
“The problem of the peace process in the United States, Russia is that it is likely to be very durable,” said Ash. To continue, “the deal must guarantee that Ukraine will continue to obtain the weapons it needs. This is more important than the peacekeeping forces on the ground.” He pointed out that the continued flow of weapons to Ukraine was not a discussion point during peace talks in the United States-Russia.
Was there alliances in the past?
Yes. In 1999, Australia’s International Timor fell (Interfet) under the United Nations mandate and composed by soldiers from Australia, the United Kingdom and New Zealand in East Timor. This represents the first time that the United Nations has put on a peace mission through an alliance of those who wish.
In 2003, 30 countries in some capabilities provided support to former US President George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq, who had no authorization to the United Nations. These countries contributed to the invasion forces, which total about 160,000 soldiers. The United Kingdom contributed 45,000, and Australia sent about 2000. The number of countries in the coalition grew to 38 after the invasion.
Can the action coalition willing without the United States in its heart?
While the coalition can come with a peace plan, Zelenskyy and Starmer have recognized that they need to support us to implement a possible peace plan.
“There will be diplomacy for peace,” Zelinski said during one of the night video headings.
“To support peace on our continent and success, this effort must have strong support,” said Starmer after the summit.
