Coalition of the Willing Supports Ukraine’s Reconstruction

(MENAFN) On Sunday evening, the Coalition of the Willing reiterated its "readiness to deploy" a reassurance force after hostilities conclude, aiming to bolster Ukraine’s air and maritime security and assist in rebuilding its military, according to an official declaration.

"They re-emphasised the readiness to deploy a reassurance force once hostilities have ceased and to help secure Ukraine’s skies and seas and regenerate Ukraine’s armed forces," the declaration from the UK Prime Minister's Office stated.

This announcement followed a virtual summit of the Coalition of the Willing Leaders, co-led by French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also participating.

The Coalition reaffirmed its backing for Ukraine and praised Zelenskyy’s "desire" for a fair and enduring peace, ahead of his scheduled meeting with US President Trump in Washington, DC, the statement noted.

"The leaders also commended President Trump’s commitment to providing security guarantees to Ukraine, in which the Coalition of the Willing will play a vital role through the Multinational Force Ukraine, among other measures," the statement further explained.

Macron and Starmer informed the leaders they would travel to Washington the next day to meet with President Trump, accompanied by President Zelenskyy.
