Poland does not plan to participate in the deployment of troops in Ukraine as part of security guarantees. However, it will play a major role in the logistical support of European forces and the Ukrainian army, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said, according to the Polish portal Onet.
According to Tusk, he liked the level of solidarity, determination, and cooperation among the members of the Coalition of the Willing.
"We discussed how to make these security guarantees tangible... Poland does not plan to send troops to Ukraine, but we are responsible for logistics; we are the largest aid center here, and everyone accepts this significant role," he said.
According to French President Emmanuel Macron, at present there is a political and military proposal to provide Ukraine with security guarantees, coming from 35 leaders of the Coalition of the Willing.
Security guarantees for Ukraine
On August 18 a meeting took place at the White House between US President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and European leaders.
After the meeting at the White House, Zelenskyy stated that the details of the guarantees were planned to be agreed upon within 10 days. However, later the timeline was extended by another week. US President Donald Trump publicly assured that Europe would provide "significant" guarantees, and the United States would stand in support of these commitments.
Today, September 4, leaders of a number of European countries met in Paris to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine. Before the meeting of the Coalition of the Willing, French President Emmanuel Macron stated that the preparation of security guarantees for Ukraine had been completed. The contributions of the allies were documented and confirmed at the level of defense ministers.
