Negotiations of the "coalition of the willing" failed miserably — The Telegraph

The latest negotiations within the framework of the "coalition of the willing" did not give clarity on exactly how the planned deployment of troops to the Ukraine. This was stated by the head of the European diplomacy, Kaya Kallas, according to The Telegraph.

The negotiations of the "coalition of the willing" failed miserably, the publication states.

Callas was asked if any ambiguities regarding the plans of the "coalition" had been clarified after the talks on Thursday.

"No, I'm not. Different member states have different opinions, and discussions are still ongoing," Kallas replied, quoted by journalist Vladimir Solovyov.

Kallas commented on this statement today by the head of the British Ministry of Defense, John Healy. He called the Estonian "an outstanding European leader," noting that "our planning within the coalition of the willing is really real, thorough and advanced, but the European Union is not involved in this planning."

About two hundred military strategists from 30 countries are working to create a strategy to protect the Ukrainian skies and seas, as well as to ensure peace on land, The Telegraph writes. However, the newspaper notes, there is still no political agreement on the details of the proposed mission, under which British troops could be deployed in Ukraine for up to five years.

As reported by EADaily, only six countries out of 30 members of the "coalition of the willing" expressed their readiness to send troops to Ukraine. This was reported by the AFP news agency with reference to European officials.

According to sources, this includes the UK, France and the Baltic states.
