“Gili will also urge Americans to restore suspended military assistance to Ukraine.”, – WRITE: www.unian.ua
Gili will meet with Fit Hegseet / ScreenshotThe UK’s Defense Minister John Gili will go to Washington Wednesday to meet her American colleague Pete Hegset to discuss the “parameters” of the European Peace Plan in Ukraine, people know about plans. Financial Times writes about it.
It is noted that the Agreement includes an agreement on the supply of minerals between Washington and Kiev, the willingness to sign on which President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has made it clear on Tuesday – that the United Kingdom and France are regarded as the first stage of the plan they hope to sell to the US President Donald Trump.
Zelensky also approved the French plan that British officials call “gradual” efforts to end the war – starting with a truce to stop marine and air attacks, which will eventually lead to the deployment of European troops to ensure a complete ceasefire.
Gili will try to convince Hegset that the US will need to provide a military “support” to the European forces if they want to restrain further Russian aggression – that Trump has still refused to do.
“It’s work in the process,” one British official with restraint admitted. Gili will also urge Americans to restore suspended military assistance to Ukraine in the framework of efforts to ensure that Zelensky is in the “strongest position” in peace talks with Moscow.
It is important that the ceasefire, made in London, Paris and Kiev, will become a central element of discussions between Gili and Hegset, which will also include the need to strengthen the connections between NATO partners after several tense days for the Alliance.
On the eve of Gili’s visit, British officials confirmed that although the final details of the plan have not yet been agreed, the parameters have already been determined. UK Prime Minister Sir Kir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron said they would officially represent the Trump Plan.
The British ministers have privately expressed relief because Trump’s appeal to Congress was more conciliated on Tuesday than some officials.
European Peaceful Initiatives on UkraineEarlier, the US President stated that he received an “important letter” from Zelensky, which signals his willingness to negotiate a peace agreement with Moscow and sign a mineral agreement with the United States. It happened after a fierce dispute between Trump and Zelensky in the oval office last week.
The UK Foreign Minister David Lemmy had a telephone conversation with his colleagues from Weimar+, which was created last month in response to a change in US policy on war in Ukraine, which includes France, Germany, Poland, Spain, Italy and the EU, as well as the United Kingdom.
France denied the preliminary assumptions that Emmanuel Macron was planning to visit Washington next week with the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Kir Starm and President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky.
