US President Donald Trump has not made a clear commitment to impose new US sanctions against Russia, despite agreements with European leaders, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reports, citing officials who attended the "coalition of the willing" meetings in Paris.
The newspaper notes that this week marks the expiration of the two-week deadline Trump gave his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, to hold peace talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The Republican did not specify what consequences Putin might face if he ignores the ultimatum.
The coalition meeting took place on September 4 in Paris. Trump joined it for the first time, participating in the discussions by telephone. French President Emmanuel Macron chaired the meeting . He announced that the coalition countries had completed work on security guarantees for Ukraine, but now they needed to be approved.
The WSJ article states that many European countries are "awaiting a clear statement from the Trump administration" regarding what support European troops can expect from the U.S. military. However, Trump "remains vague" regarding security guarantees for Ukraine.
The "Coalition of the Willing" is a group of 30 countries, primarily European, that support Ukraine. Its creation was initiated by the United Kingdom and France . The goal of this format is to develop security guarantees for Kyiv in the event of a ceasefire.
Kyiv insists on a strong US presence in security guarantees. At a meeting with European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House on August 18, Trump promised that the US would participate in providing security guarantees to Ukraine , assuming responsibility for their coordination.
Earlier, the White House announced that Washington was ruling out the deployment of American troops on Ukrainian territory, but was prepared to consider air support as a security guarantee.
However, European officials said Trump agreed that technical cooperation between the US and Europe could begin on additional sanctions against Russia, including secondary restrictions.
Moscow opposes any settlement that involves the deployment of NATO troops in Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin , speaking about security guarantees for Ukraine, emphasized that each country has the right to ensure its own defense, but this should not come at the expense of the security of another state.
