Ukraine Russia online: – The world we are
France and Britain have not yet agreed the details of the eventual Placing the contingent of Western forces in Ukraine.
This was written by the Ukrainian Pravda server, referring to the statement of the French President and the British Prime Minister before journalists after today’s negotiations in Kiev.
The Western forces contingent should discourage Russia from a possible further attack on the neighboring country. Moscow rejects any presence of Western soldiers in Ukraine.
« The debates of all partners under the leadership of France and Britain continue. Can I report the result? We are not working over the variations, but the decision also depends on Russia’s reaction. When it is, we will develop the most effective proposals, » said French President Emmanuel Macron. According to the portal, he confirmed that it is still being considered the opportunity to send soldiers from France, Britain and several other countries to Ukraine. « The deterrent forces are an option. But everything will depend on the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, » Macron said.
« As for the contingent at sea and in the air and on the land, there is some variability because there is no ceasefire, » admitted British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. At the same time, he declared that the contingent considers it a necessary and very important part of peace agreements, the Ukrainian truth wrote. « If there is no contingent that supports a (peaceful) agreement, it is very likely that it will violate it (Russian leader Vladimir) Putin. In the past, he has not kept an agreement. We need a long -term peace. Peace, which will last only a few months or years, is useless, » the British Prime Minister said.
Both politicians noted that the contingent would not be the main guarantee of security. « The guarantees will be built at several levels. The first layer of defense will be the Ukrainian army itself, the second then deterrent, » Macron said. « We must strengthen the Ukrainian army to be a deterrent element, » Starmer stressed. (CTK)
