The US said they are available to provide intelligence and supervision resources on the battlefield for a western safety plan for post-war Ukrainian and participate in a air defense shield led by Europe, with a no-prosecutor. The Financial Times writes. The western capital plan would include a demilitarized area, perhaps patrolled by neutral peace forces of a third country agreed by Kiev and Moscow. Behind, a much more robust border, defended by Ukrainian troops armed and trained by NATO. Deeper, as a third line of defense, a deterrence force led by Europe.
High American officials, reports the FT that cites European and Ukrainian officials, have reported to their European homologues, in numerous interviews, that Washington would be ready to contribute with “strategic qualifications”, including intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, command and control and air defense resources, to support any deployment led by Europe on the ground. A so -called coalition of the willing, led by the United Kingdom and France, has promised to protect post -war Ukrainian from future Russian aggressions. But European officials have admitted in private that any deployment could only take place with the support of the United States to allow, supervise and protect European troops. Washington already provides Ukraine Air Defense Missiles Patriot, but post-Bellic support would include US planes, logistics and terrestrial radar supporting and qualifications of a no-infin zone and an air shield imposed by Europe for Kiev. In any peace agreement, the superior US intelligence, surveillance and control skills would allow the satellite monitoring of a ceased the fire and an effective coordination of western forces in the country. The American offer, which emerged in a series of meetings between national security officials and military leaders of the United States and the main European countries in the last few days, is conditioned by the commitment of European capitals to unfold tens of thousands of soldiers in Ukraine, specify the sources of the FT. The United States remain against the deployment of their troops in Ukraine, added the sources. Other members of the Trump Administration, including the Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, are skeptical about any participation in postbellic guarantees, fearing that this can drag the USA into a future conflict. Andriy Yermak, head of the staff of the Ukrainian president, then confirmed the revelations of the FT and said that each country of the coalition will contribute differently, “and in the end the framework will be a mix of military, political and economic support”. The discussions concerned four or five European brigades “on the ground, provided by the coalition of the willing, more ‘strategic qualities’ by the US,” said Yermak, adding that this marks “a big change compared to spring”.
“Tomorrow (Wednesday) we will have a great meeting in the White House, under the guidance of the president, and we are developing a very complete plan for the next day” in the Palestinian territory devastated by the war for almost two years, said Witkoff to Fox News, without providing further details.
