Polish Foreign Minister: Strong army is Ukraine's best security guarantee

Sikorski commented on the meeting of the "coalition of the willing" leaders, which took place on Thursday, March 27, in Paris. The coalition is discussing the potential deployment of "deterrence forces" in Ukraine after the war ends.

The Foreign Minister emphasized that "Poland will be part of this coalition, but not physically in Ukraine."

"There are various echoes of these negotiations, both at the staff level in the United Kingdom and at the political level in Paris. These concepts are still in the process of being agreed upon," said the Polish Minister.

At the same time, according to Sikorski, the greatest and best security guarantee for Ukraine is "a brave and well-equipped Ukrainian army."

"On our side, we have the largest army in Europe... and it has experience in this new type of warfare involving millions of drones," he added.

"Coalition of the willing" on Ukraine

On March 27, a summit of Ukraine's allies took place in Paris, involving the "coalition of the willing" – a group of countries ready to provide a peacekeeping contingent or other assistance to ensure peace after a potential ceasefire.

The coalition brought together representatives from over 20 countries, including EU countries, the UK, Canada, Norway, and Turkey. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also participated in the summit.

Following the meeting, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that within three weeks, allies would present a plan to monitor the ceasefire in Ukraine.

In addition, Macron proposed deploying "deterrence forces" in Ukraine, which could be part of the security guarantees. This involves the use of naval, land, and air forces that could be stationed in strategically important areas after the war ends.
