After Trump has abandoned the US previous course in support of Ukraine, the United Kingdom and other European countries are trying to demonstrate unity and increase diplomatic efforts to support Kiev.
However, there are differences in the departure of peacekeepers to Ukraine: France and the United Kingdom are ready for such a step, while Poland categorically rejects it.
Russia, for its part, has already stated that “will not accept any” placement of European troops in Ukraine.
The older stressed that the key to peaceful settlement is Trump’s support, although its format has not yet been defined.
“I am absolutely convinced that we need a long peace rather than ceasefire, and this requires security guarantees,” the older said.
According to him, insufficient support can create the risk of a new attack by Russia.
“… I am concerned that, if there is a ceasefire without a fuse, it will only give him (Putin – ed.) The opportunity to wait, and then to attack again. His ambitions about Ukraine are obvious to all,” the prime minister said.
“I will not run ahead, except for saying that I have a clear understanding of the principles,” the old man said, commenting on his expectations from negotiations in Washington.
