Towards the end of the week, the United States asked for precise information on what military and defense support countries are ready to provide to Ukraine.
Towards the end of the week, the United States submitted a documentary of six issues to European countries on the protection of Ukraine after any future peace talks.
Reuters has seen the document.
On Saturday Financial Times And Reuters reported that the United States has asked European countries accurate information about what military and defense support they intend to offer to Ukraine.
Europe must give the United States security guarantees if Europe intends to participate in peace talks.
French president Emmanuel Macron invited European leaders to Paris on Monday to discuss security guarantees.
1. What does Europe want from the United States?
One of the most important issues in the document is about what European countries want from the United States to participate in Ukraine’s security arrangements.
According to Reuters, the issue has been welcomed in European governments. Many European countries had previously made it clear that they were ready to safeguard the peace of Ukraine with the support of the United States.
2. Who would participate in the implementation of security guarantees?
The United States wants to know which European countries could participate in the implementation of security guarantees in Ukraine.
3. How much military equipment does Ukraine get?
The United States wants to do information from European countries in writing about how much military equipment each European country is ready to provide to Ukraine.
4. Will Europe send peacekeepers to Ukraine?
In addition, the United States wants to know whether European countries would be ready to send their peacekeepers to Ukraine to monitor a potential ceasefire agreement.
5. How big would the European troops be?
One of the issues in the document concerns how large would be the size of the peacekeepers of European countries. The United States also asks how, where and for how long Europe would be ready to invest its troops.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyi Said the Munich Safety Conference over the weekend that it is time for Europe to put together its own army.
Zelenskyi stated that the United States may no longer help Europe.
Among other things President Alexander Stubb shot down Zelensky’s proposal for the common European armed forces.
6. What sanctions should Russia be imposed?
The United States also asks in the document what new sanctions in Europe are ready to adopt against Russia.
US Ukraine Special Ambassador Keith Kellogg proposed new sanctions on Russian oil products and a Russian shadow fleet.
Kellogg estimates the sanction of Western Russia with a grade of three on a scale of 1-10.
