LONDON - Britain, France and Germany – co-chairs of the so-called “Coalition of the Willing” – set out their position on the pathway to a ceasefire in Ukraine in a statement released after a virtual meeting on Aug 13.
“Ukraine must have robust and credible security guarantees to effectively defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity,” said the joint statement, published by Britain two days before a planned summit
“The Coalition of the Willing is ready to play an active role, including through plans by those willing to deploy a reassurance force once hostilities have ceased.
“No limitations should be placed on Ukraine’s armed forces nor on its cooperation with third countries. Russia could not have a veto against Ukraine’s pathway to EU and Nato.” REUTERS
