Strengthening the Armed Forces and introducing foreign forces: what options for safety guarantees for Ukraine have been prepared in the West

The guarantees are aimed at strengthening the Armed Forces and military capabilities of Ukraine without restrictions on the number of troops. Russia must avoid the quantitative restriction of the Ukrainian army in the future agreement on the termination of the war, the interlocutors said. The purpose is to avoid Russia's requirements for limiting the number of the Ukrainian army in the framework of the future agreement on the termination of the war.

The safety package is based on the European Coalition of the Coalition, headed by the United Kingdom and France. It is expected that it will include the placement of multinational forces in Ukraine, but their format has not yet been determined, the sources have been added. According to officials, at a meeting in Washington on August 18, leaders supported security guarantees for Ukraine, similar to Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty on Mutual Defense.

This formula was initially proposed by Italy Prime Minister Georgia Meloni, but the accurate details and role of the United States should still be processed. It should be noted that Zelensky commented on security guarantees for Ukraine at a briefing in Washington. It also includes Kyiv's initiative to buy US weapons for $ 100 billion.

The strong army of Ukraine, in his opinion, will be the first part of the guarantees, so it is impossible to prevent it from reducing it due to lack of money after the end of the war. US President Donald Trump has promised Zelensky to guarantee Ukraine's security in any termination of the war, but the scale of assistance is still unknown. Recall that Putin and Zelensky's meeting can take place in the next two weeks. Germany stated that the summit should be carefully prepared.
