In the State Duma, the "coalition of the willing" was called the "party of war"

The countries of the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom have formed the so-called "coalition of the willing," which is actually a "party of war." Alexey Chepa informed Izvestia about this on April 11.

He explained that these countries support the deployment of their own military contingent to Ukraine, which means that they want to continue fighting on Ukrainian territory.

"Naturally, these troops, if they are deployed, will be a target for our army," Chepa said.

The politician noted that European leaders make many harsh and bold statements, but he is not sure that Britain and its allies will decide on such a step. Chepa also added that such initiatives are an attempt by Ukraine and the EU to hinder the course of negotiations between Russia and the United States.

World champions from Europe: Moscow warned against deploying troops in Ukraine

What conflict resolution mechanisms can be acceptable to Russia?

On April 10, The Telegraph newspaper reported that the United Kingdom was considering the possibility of deploying troops in Ukraine for a period of five years, which, as specified, was being discussed by London and other partners in the "coalition of the willing."

The Russian side has repeatedly stated that the deployment of the EU military contingent in Ukraine is unacceptable for Moscow. Thus, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, stated that Russia is categorically against the deployment of forces on Ukrainian territory, as this is fraught with the danger of a direct clash between Russia and NATO.
