Zelensky Reports on Meeting with the ‘Decisive Coalition’: Joint Diplomatic Strategy Moving Forward
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, during his recent visit to Brussels, held a significant meeting with a group of international diplomats and policymakers, which he referred to as the ‘Decisive Coalition.’ This gathering was crucial for aligning Ukraine’s position on future international initiatives and diplomatic strategies in the coming months.Primarily, Zelensky emphasized that the purpose of the meeting was to consolidate support for Ukraine’s independence and sovereignty within the global context.
Discussions reaffirmed the principle that borders should not be altered by force and that territorial integrity issues must be resolved within international law and diplomatic channels.Zelensky highlighted the importance of securing reliable security guarantees for Ukraine.
He stated that the United States plans to participate in providing these guarantees, considering it a ‘historic’ step toward peace agreements.The leaders unanimously supported the idea that security guarantees should be practically oriented, involving specific measures to protect Ukraine on land, in the air, and at sea.
They also discussed Europe’s role in developing joint security assurance mechanisms.Additionally, discussions covered peace negotiations: Zelensky announced that Ukraine and its partners are working on an honest and swift peace plan, based on a fair agreement that can stabilize the region.A key upcoming event is the meeting in Washington on August 18, where President Zelensky will hold a bilateral discussion with Donald Trump, followed by a joint session with European leaders.
It is known that Zelensky will first meet solely with Trump to align on critical security and cooperation issues.Specifically, US Special Envoy Steve Vitzhoff reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin apparently agreed to provide Ukraine with ‘strong security guarantees’ during the Alaska summit, adding particular significance to upcoming negotiations.
Zelensky noted that he does not yet have detailed information about the talks between Trump and Putin but considers any signals of support from the US essential.Overall, these diplomatic initiatives aim not only to strengthen Ukraine’s external position but also to establish a real foundation for long-awaited peace and stability in the region.
