The West and the US have unveiled a mechanism for security guarantees for Ukraine in the event of a new Russian invasion.
According to the Financial Times, in the event of an escalation, the West is ready to respond militarily within 72 hours.
According to the publication’s sources, the plan involves three stages:
First stage: within 24 hours of the border violation, a diplomatic warning will be issued, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine will begin to stop the invasion.
Second stage: if the fighting continues, a “coalition of the willing” comes into play – EU countries, the UK, Norway, Iceland and Turkey.
Third stage: after 72 hours, in the event of further escalation, a joint military response by the EU and the US with the participation of American troops is planned.
Britain and France are ready to send troops and weapons to Ukraine as part of security guarantees. After the ceasefire, European countries will provide deterrence on land, in the air and at sea with support from the United States. The United States is offering to provide high-tech surveillance equipment along the 1,400 km front.
However, Russia rejected such guarantees. According to Dmitry Medvedev, “guarantees must be for both Russia and Ukraine, otherwise they don’t work.”
As a reminder, the special representative of the United States President, Steve Witkoff, stated that the meetings in Florida with the special representative of Russia, Kirill Dmitriev, were productive and constructive . The talks took place within the framework of the US mediation efforts to promote a peaceful settlement of the war in Ukraine.
As reported, signs of cautious progress have emerged in peace talks between Ukraine, the US and Russia, but a rapid breakthrough is not expected in the near future. Analysts believe that significant agreements are not possible before March.
