It has been announced who will represent Poland at the meeting of security advisers of the Coalition of the Willing countries in Kyiv on January 3, states Polish Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maciej Wewiór, according to the Polish outlet Wiadomości.
Poland will be represented at the meeting of security advisers of the Coalition of the Willing countries in Kyiv by Deputy Foreign Minister Robert Kupiecki.
According to the spokesperson, Kupiecki, who also serves as an adviser to Prime Minister Donald Tusk on national security, will present Poland’s position during discussions on ways to achieve peace in Ukraine. Maciej Wewiór emphasized that the Polish side has a clear stance and that its voice will be heard.
During the Kyiv meeting, the parties plan to discuss key elements of the peace process as well as the possible content of a future peace agreement. Work on specific documents is ongoing, and negotiations will take place at both the government and military levels.
The security advisers’ meeting will take place just days before the summit of coalition leaders, scheduled in France on January 6. At that summit, participating countries are expected to agree on their contribution to security guarantees for Ukraine.
What is known about the Coalition of the Willing countries
The Coalition of the Willing countries is an international group established to coordinate support for Ukraine and to develop security guarantees amid the war with Russia.
It was created in early 2025 at the initiative of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
The coalition includes 33 countries, mostly European, as well as Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and Türkiye. The United States, Hungary, Slovakia, and some Balkan countries did not join the grouping.
The main goal of the coalition is to ensure long-term military, financial, and political support for Ukraine, as well as to prepare a set of security guarantees as part of a future peace agreement with Russia.
In 2025, Ukraine received $45 billion in international military aid, with the majority of funds directed toward weapons, air defense systems, and the development of its defense sector.
On Monday, December 29, the Italian government, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, decided to provide Ukraine with a new package of military assistance.
Meanwhile, in 2026, Germany plans to provide Ukraine with €11.5 billion in aid, as outlined in its state budget. These funds are intended for the purchase of drones, armored vehicles, and the replacement of two Patriot air defense systems.
