YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

France, Germany, Britain, Italy and Poland plan to provide security guarantees for Ukraine in the event of a peace deal with Russia. The so-called E5 meeting was set to discuss the importance of US involvement as well. The UK and others are calling for guarantees from the White House in the case that the peacekeeping force is attacked - which so far the US has declined to provide. European military powers are aiming for a united front, although Poland has so far said it will not allow its troops to be based in Ukraine.

On the table at the meeting was a plan that experts presented last week, which could see Kyiv better protected from Russian missile and drone attacks. Called 'Sky Shield', it involves deploying a European force of 120 fighter jets to protect western Ukraine. But its authors stress that Sky Shield would be an explicitly Europe-led air protection zone operated separately from NATO.
