Quote: "Last week’s meeting of military planners was an important step. Another is the upcoming meeting in Paris on Thursday at the invitation of President Macron. I thanked Prime Minister Starmer for the leading role he has played in recent weeks. We are working not only for the security of Ukraine but also for that of Europe, and therefore the Netherlands too."
Background:
- Earlier this week, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy stated that the Kremlin leader would not have a veto over the potential deployment of foreign troops in Ukraine.
- Unofficial reports indicated that Macron is considering alternatives to the joint peacekeeping mission plan he developed with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer – potentially involving the UN.
- However, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he does not view the UN as an alternative to the possible deployment of a foreign contingent in Ukraine or to security guarantees.
