Security guarantees are coming to Ukraine, putting Europe on the hook

As for the security guarantees, the details are still minimal. Trump commented at a post -march press conference that Europe “will take a lot of burden” for these, but he said that the United States will help and make it “very safe.”

In any case, security guarantees may mean that Europe, and the so -called “coalition of those who wish” to countries that offer supervision of a peace agreement, in contact with the fulfillment of what they had previously promised.

French President Emmanuel Macron hinted on Tuesday that “ensuring the first security we are working on – which is the most important – is a strong Ukrainian army, consisting of several hundreds of thousands of men, well equipped, with defensive systems and higher standards.”

“The second is that you have reassurance forces, the British, the French, the Germans, the Turks, and others ready to carry out these operations-and not on the confrontation line, not in a provocative way, but reassurance in the air, at the sea, and on the ground. The goal is to send a strategic sign: peace in Okreen is also our concern.”

Garroslava Barberi, a research colleague in Chatham House, told CNBC on Tuesday that the general mood of the talks on Monday was “cautious optimism”, but there are many unknown.

“However, we have to say that the Kremlin’s maximum demands in Ukraine have not changed, and therefore there are still a number of uncertainty about security guarantees, and the details, which will do what contributed, if there are any forces of the forces, then stationed, for how long, which countries will contribute?” I asked.

European leaders have expressed their concerns because there is no ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine before negotiating a peace agreement, but they seem to be prepared to be satisfied, with the final goals in mind peace, Ukraine and the security of Europe.

Gabrielius Landsburgis, former Foreign Minister of Lithuania, told CNBC on Tuesday that Europe is still struggling to hear it, saying that the bloc has not yet found its strength and “its ability to create a lever of finances.”

“What happened from the meeting yesterday is that Europe was asking the United States yesterday to continue its help, request a ceasefire, and assistance in any development of the forces, and then some leaders said,” Well, some Ukrainian lands may be lost, but this is a fact. “Well, this does not seem to find Europe.”

“It is more like agreeing to Europe,” We are in a very weak position and we have to satisfy President Trump as much as possible and we have nothing to put on the table. ”

What’s more, it is not clear whether the Kremlin will agree to direct conversations with Zelenskyy. Putin’s presidential assistant Yuri Oshkov said on Monday that Trump and Putin have discussed “it would be necessary to study the possibility of raising the level of actors from the Ukrainian and Russian aspects,” but no firm decision has been taken.

The proposed future summits between Trump, Putin and Zelinski have warned a process towards a potential solution to the conflict, but will follow the Russian scenario of the scenario of shooting, Holger Schmiding, chief economist at Burnberg Bank, warned.

“Putin may actually set difficult conditions for a meeting with Zelenskyy. In a meeting with Zelenskyy, Putin’s main goal may be to blame any failure on Zelenskyy instead of agreeing to a truce or final deal. The result remains very uncertain.”
