00:00Members of the Coalition for the Willing for Ukraine on Thursday called for continued transatlantic unity as Europeans seek to exert greater influence in the peace talks with Moscow, and Washington ups pressure for a quick deal.
00:16The meeting came a day after leaders of England, France and Germany, known as E3, spoke with US President Donald Trump on the phone about the latest developments in the peace talks. According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the US-led peace talks are currently wrestling with Russian demands for Ukrainian territory and security guarantees for Ukraine.
00:39About an hour ago, we had conversation with the United States team about possible security guarantees for Ukraine, and we are working on a framework document, and it must be strong enough to truly work. We believe this document should be approved by the United States Congress. This would mean real, solid, legally binding security guarantees for our country.
01:02Trump has made it clear he expects European allies to shoulder most of the burden for security guarantees, with 26 countries already declaring they will provide equipment and assistance post-truce.
01:17But many of the plans are dependent on a US backstop, mainly in the form of air protection and intelligence sharing, something that's yet to be agreed upon.
