The French President’s office reminded that the USA is not formally a party that joined the Paris Declaration on January 6. “The corresponding statement of the “coalition of the determined” was approved by the members of the coalition and discussed in detail with the USA,” the official of the Elysée Palace specified on condition of anonymity.
According to the analysis of “European Pravda”, if you compare the text of the project of the Paris Declaration of the “coalition of the determined” and the final text, the latter differs in that the paragraph on multinational coalition forces does not contain any mention of the obligation of the United States to provide them with support in the event of Russia’s violation of the ceasefire agreement.
Yes. the draft of the statement, which was read by the correspondent of “European Truth” before the start of the “coalition of the determined” meeting on January 6, stated that the multinational forces “will be led by Europeans, with the involvement of non-European members of the coalition, and with the participation of the United States, including American capabilities, such as intelligence and logistics, with the obligation of the United States to support these forces in the event of an attack.”
The final version of the Paris Declaration of the “coalition of the determined” indicates that the multinational force “will be led by Europeans, with the involvement of non-European coalition members as well, and the proposed support of the United States.”
We will remind:
- The Paris Declaration of January 6 also stated that a special coordination center will be created on the basis of the operational headquarters of the coalition in Paris in the format “USA – Ukraine – coalition of the determined”, which will be responsible for security guarantees to Ukraine from the Western allies.
- Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that each of the tasks related to the process of providing aid to Ukraine has its own national leader – Poland will be a leading country in the field of logistics.
- Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron allowed the possibility of contact with Kremlin leader Putin in the coming weeks.
