Disagreement at the summit: Europe's attitude towards the Ukraine crisis on the rehearsal!

The Parisian summit, which took place yesterday, which dealt with the current Situation in the Ukraine conflict, revealed profound diseases among the European countries about the possible posting of a peace force. Chancellor Olaf Scholz critically commented on the discussions about military support, which in his opinion were premature and irritating. He emphasized that the discussions about possible results of peace discussions that have not yet taken place were problematic. At the summit there were prominent participants such as Emmanuel Macron from France, Keir Strander from Great Britain as well as leading heads of state and government from Italy, Poland, Spain, the Netherlands and Denmark.

Keir Strander signaled willingness to send soldiers to Ukraine and asked Great Britain to take on a leading role in security guarantees. At this point, France's Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot found that concrete conversations about the possible posting of troops were underway. The main topic of the summit was the reaction to the change of course in US Ukraine policy, which aims to persuade both President Selenskyj and Vladimir Putin to negotiate and to transfer responsibility for a future peace deal.

reactions of the European countries

Netherlands and Sweden were open to the posting of soldiers, while Spain and Denmark do not exclude this. However, Poland plans not to send troops, but still wants to support other European countries in their efforts. There is currently uncertainty about the possible troop strength; A discussion about a five -digit number is held, while the idea of ​​200,000 soldiers is considered unrealistic.

In a final statement, Scholz emphasized that a negotiation result with the participation of the Ukrainian side was necessary before one could think about securing a possible ceasefire.

This topic remains a central field of dispute in the upcoming discussions among the European nations.
