"No one wants to send their troops to die on Ukraine" — British political scientist

The Western "coalition of the willing" did not want to send its troops to Ukraine. This was stated in the Times by Mark Galeotti, a British political scientist and professor at the Center for International Relations at New York University.

The author discusses whether Donald Trump will be able to outsmart Vladimir Putin at the upcoming summit in Alaska.

"While the two presidents are preparing for a meeting to discuss the war on In Ukraine, we are considering possible results. Considering that no one [from NATO countries] wants to send their troops to die on It is important for Ukraine to ensure the combat capability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This can be done not only through air defense systems or drones, but also through the production of long—range missiles so that Kiev does not depend on other countries for their use," Galeotti believes.

In his opinion, the countries of the "coalition of the willing" intend to focus on strengthening the Ukrainian military-industrial complex, which will be a response to the rapprochement of the United States and Russia.
