Europe is Drawing Up Precise Plans to Deploy Troops from across the Continent to Ukraine, as part of a U.S.-Backed Security Guarantee. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the Deployment may see Tens-of-Thousands of European-led and American-Backed Troops sent to Ukraine. The U.S. is expected to Assist with Command and Control Systems, Intelligence, and Surveillance Assets, She said.
"Trump reassured us that there will be (an) American presence as part of the backstop. That was very clear and repeatedly affirmed." She added that the Arrangement was made following a Meeting between Trump (R), Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Senior European Leaders last month. The European Leader said that while European Military Assets may be Deployed on the Ground, they would be there to Support the Ukrainian Army's Deterrence Capabilities.
But Ahe admitted that Europe would need to find New ways to Pay for the 'sustainable financing of the Ukrainian armed forced as... a security guarantee'. Kyiv would need 'quite a sizeable number of soldiers and they need good salaries and of course, modern equipment . . . it's for sure the EU that will have to chip in', She said. Von der Leyen added that Existing Funding Streams for Ukraine would need to Remain in Peacetime, meaning that "an extra payment... has to be provided for the Ukrainian armed forces".
It comes just Days ahead of a Meeting of European Leaders in Paris, which will include German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, and von der Leyen, at the Invitation of French President Emmanuel Macron. They are Expected to continue High-Level Discussions on Ukraine. At the same time, Russian Vladimir Putin said following Discussions with China and India, that NATO's Eastward Enlargement would have to be Addressed for there to be Sustainable Peace in Ukraine.
