Members of the so-called “Coalition of the Willing,” comprised of Kiev’s European backers, will not be sending troops to Ukraine despite previously floating the idea, The Sunday Times has claimed, citing an anonymous source.
Back in March, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that London was prepared to deploy “boots on the ground and planes in the air, together with others.” French President Emmanuel Macron made a similar statement.
The hypothetical contingent would be acting in a “peacekeeping” capacity if and when Kiev and Moscow agree to a ceasefire. However, Germany, Poland, Spain, and Italy have all expressed a reluctance or refused to commit troops for the potential mission.
Russia has strongly opposed the stationing of NATO military personnel in the neighboring country under any pretext.
In an article on Saturday, the Sunday Times predicted that should the upcoming meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump result in a cessation of hostilities in Ukraine, Kiev would likely want to see “international monitors on the ground.”
However, according to the British newspaper, “it is unlikely that the answer here will be the ‘coalition of the willing’.”
The publication quoted an unnamed UK defense official as acknowledging that “no one wants to send their troops to die in Ukraine.”
Back in May, the Financial Times, citing an anonymous source, reported that the coalition’s plans for a deployment in Ukraine were “dead” now that the US had refused to provide backing.
A little earlier, The Times similarly claimed that the plan was unrealistic due to personnel shortages faced by European militaries.
Last month, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov accused the European NATO member states of pursuing a “militaristic [and] confrontational” course.
Back in April, Sergey Shoigu, secretary of Russia’s National Security Council and former defense minister, warned that the arrival of NATO troops in Ukraine could lead to a third world war.
The Kremlin has repeatedly described the Ukraine conflict as a proxy war being waged against Russia by the West, with Kiev being used as an expendable battering ram.
peace keeping my arse
the truth is army recruiting is down to zilch
studies shew that brits do not think the UK is worth fighting for
the country has been given to migrants
let them fight for the politicians said one
PS thanks for getting rid of that twat carl jones
My guess is that it has nothing to do with a sudden awakening of conscience by the EU leaders, but that what it really has to do with is that they know that they’ll have a very difficult time finding military age men and women to volunteer to fight Russia. They’re making other excuses but most thinking people can see through their stupidity.
It wasn’t dead soldiers that would have stopped them. Pawns are expendable. It was realising this time they were inviting their own deaths which will have turned them back. King Oreshnik taking out the queens.
Now we get the Commie Jew propaganda version from RT. What TTS doesn’t tell you is that RT is managed by some Jewess named ‘Margarita Simonyan’. Both MSM complexes of the the West & Russia are owned/managed by Jews. One would have to be quite stupid/naive to believe these Yids of the West & Russia are not communicating & coordinating their ‘news’ to manipulate & dupe the gentile morons into accepting their phony NATO vs. Russia dialectic. Check out photos of the ‘Russian’ ‘Minister of Mass Media’ Maksut Shadayev. Looks like something out of some Israeli semitic sewer.
the warmongers will get not sufficient idiots to
fight jew incited wars . EUROPEANS DONT
WANT WAR + would be idiots to be dragged
in by jew war inciters Zelensky, Boris Johnson +
Rothschild .
only the jew propaganda medias are for war as
it was already in 1st + 2nd worldwar . so by this
Rothschild known war reluctance we can expect
somewhere an atomic false flag by the usual known
false flag experts !
The jews Used Ukraine Says Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico
Fact checked by The People’s Voice CommunityFico said that Kiev backed a plan to weaken Russia that fell short, and will now have to “pay dearly” for Western proxy role.
He described Ukraine as “grass being trampled by elephants” as he warned Kiev that it will suffer for being part of the West’s “unsuccessful strategy to weaken Russia.”RT reports: A staunch advocate for peace talks rather than the EU’s military backing for Kiev, Fico made the comments in a video address posted on Facebook over the weekend, saying the Ukrainian leadership also bears responsibility, having backed the jews plan to harm Moscow by supporting the war effort.
