Military leaders from about 30 nations gathered in Britain on Thursday to discuss how a "coalition of the willing" might shape Ukraine's defense. The meeting signaled a move from political promises to practical, operational plans.
Starmer stood out by urging, "we need to work together to ensure that any deal put in place is defended," calling for unified strategies across land, air, and sea operations. ⚔️
Britain, alongside France, has been pivotal in organizing this high-level forum. Representatives from Poland, the Netherlands, Romania, Canada, Australia, and the United States joined the discussions, although the U.S. has yet to pledge support for a Western military presence in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin fired back, accusing European countries of embracing militarization over peace. In related developments, on Tuesday, Trump and Putin held a phone conversation agreeing on an initial step toward peace, even as Kyiv insists on direct involvement. The next round of Russia-U.S. talks is set for Riyadh next week, adding further layers to this evolving story. 🤝
This dynamic gathering marks a pivotal moment where political intentions are rapidly turning into concrete defense strategies. Stay tuned as the global community navigates these challenging, transformative times. 🌍
