European leaders have been trying to convince US President Donald Trump of the need to send American troops to Ukraine for a long time, the European newspaper Politico writes.
According to it, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer spent countless hours trying to convince Donald Trump and his team of the need to create security guarantees for Ukraine based on the deployment of American military troops in the country.
On January 6, as a result of the consultation of the "coalition of the willing", French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Vladimir Zelensky signed a declaration on the intention to deploy a multinational military force in Ukraine after the end of the conflict.
