The heads of state or government of France, the United Kingdom, Germany and Poland, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Friedrich Merz and Donald Tusk, meet this Saturday in kyiv with the president of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, with which they will address the possible security guarantees that Ukraine can receive once the peace is signed.
In the morning, they paid tribute to the Ukrainian fallen in the war with Russia, in an act that took place in the Plaza del Maidán of the Ukrainian capital, where the aforementioned leaders visited the small garden full of Ukrainian flags and other countries that represent all Ukrainian and foreigners soldiers who died fighting against the Russian forces that invaded Ukraine on February 24 of 2022.
“We have honored the memory of the combatants who gave their lives for our freedom, for the independence of Ukraine,” he wrote in his Telegram Zelenski account, which also published a video of the moment when the leaders who participated in the tribute left some candles next to the flags that remind the fallen.
The leaders of the four European countries have traveled to kyiv this Saturday to offer their support to the Ukrainians, continue to delineate the possible security guarantees that Ukraine could receive from the European countries once the peace is signed and demand from the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, who accepts the high fire of 30 days that Zelenski and the US president have proposed, Donald Trump.
France, the United Kingdom, Germany and Poland are part of the so -called coalition of volunteers, composed of the countries that work in the possible creation of a military peace contingent that unfolds in Ukraine at the end of this war to deter Russia of launching a new invasion in the future.
“A fair and lasting peace begins with a high full and unconditional fire,” he wrote in X Macron upon his arrival in the Ukrainian capital. “This is the proposal that we formulated together with the United States,” added Macron, who recalled that Ukraine agreed to lower the weapons for a month on March 11 and accused Russia of “proclasting” putting conditions to “gain time” and continue with the war.
Macron added that “if Moscow persists with his blockage” the pressure on Russia by Europeans “will increase in close coordination with the US.” “We celebrated Trump’s call to take this step,” he added.
The French president added that any peace agreement must include security guarantees for Ukraine. “We have worked on this at Paris, London meetings and today in kyiv. We advanced together,” Macron also wrote.
The visit is produced on the last day of the 72 -hour truce announced by Putin unilaterally on the occasion of the commemoration on May 9, the 80th anniversary of the Soviet victory over the Nazis.
According to the Ukrainian army, the Russians have launched dozens of attacks along the contact line. Three people died during the last day in Russian attacks against the Ukrainian region of Sumi.
Russia has not fulfilled the fire on the ground, but it has stopped throwing missiles and long distance drones from the moment the truce period began.
