The discussions focused on security guarantees for Ukraine and efforts to persuade the U.S. to support these initiatives.After the meeting, the French president spoke to the press. He confidently announced that 26 unnamed members of the Coalition are ready to deploy troops in Ukraine by land, sea, and air. Later, Macron softened his statement, clarifying that some participants would take part in the mission from outside Ukraine.However, there is an important nuance.The so-called security reassurance forces will not enter Ukraine until Russia ends its brutal and illegal war of aggression. This raises the question: what is left for us? Many believe - practically nothing.But the truth is that Putin will not stop until he destroys Ukraine and subjugates the rest of Europe.Our partners must stop dodging responsibility and hoping that the U.S. will save the day.Truly effective measures include tougher sanctions on Russia and its “strategic partners,” accelerated delivery of ammunition and modern weapons, and increased financial support for Ukraine.The Ukrainian people are brave, patient, and resilient. But our European partners should not take this for granted. Many are tired of the inconsistency and unpredictability of U.S. diplomatic actions. Yet this should be a reason to do more and act faster — so that Ukraine endures and the war does not reach the so far peaceful cities of other European countries.About the author: Mykola Kniazhytskyi, Ukrainian journalist and MP.The editorial team does not necessarily share the opinions expressed by blog or column authors.
