A coalition of Ukrainian allies agreed Saturday to keep the “collective pressure” on Russia to accept President Trump’s ceasefire proposal, as they vowed to protect the embattled nation “on the land, at sea, and in the sky” once a deal is reached.
The leaders of 26 countries – dubbed the “coalition of the willing” — took part in a virtual summit led by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer as the group plans to move toward an “operational phase” to secure a ceasefire.
“President Trump has offered Putin the way forward to a lasting peace,” Starmer said after the meeting, which included leaders from Europe, Australia, Canada and New Zealand — but not the US. “Now we must make this a reality.”
“Sooner or later Putin will have to come to the table,” he added.
The coalition will meet again in Britain on Thursday to put forward plans to ensure Ukraine’s security should a peace deal be hammered out.
