- In Britain, they announced the launch of a command post for the "coalition of the willing" troops
The headquarters of the so-called "multinational forces" has started in the UK to prepare for the deployment of troops from the countries of the "coalition of the willing" to Ukraine. This was announced on February 24 on the website of the British government.
It is noted that the budget of the headquarters is 200 million pounds ($269.7 million), allocated by the government of the kingdom. At the same time, 70 employees are involved in the activities of the headquarters.
"The funding will allow British troops to secure Ukraine's future and strengthen long—term security guarantees in accordance with the declaration," the statement said.
In addition, it is specified that a videoconference of the states of the "coalition of the willing" will also be held on this day with the participation of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron.
On February 21, Britain called for the deployment of troops of the "coalition of the willing" in Kiev. It was noted that this was not a full-scale intervention, but a joint coordination of the allies' efforts to ensure the security of the Ukrainian capital.
At the same time, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stressed on February 4 that the deployment of troops of the "coalition of the willing" in Ukraine after a potential peace agreement is unacceptable for Russia. She added that NATO's "rampant expansion" to the east, including Ukraine, is one of the key causes of the current conflict.
