Czech president reveals how US and Europe will share security guarantees for Ukraine

And I believe that once we come to an understanding that there is a common will to deploy the forces, the Czech Republic will be part of it,

he stressed

We are part of this coalition now

When asked whether he sees Czechia as part of such a coalition, Pavel replied

But if there is a strong group of European nations willing to provide security guarantees to Ukraine, my strong conviction is that the Czech Republic should be among them. I know that it sounds like a cliché, but I truly believe that we are doing it to a large extent for ourselves,

the Czech president stressed

And now we talk mostly about the newly-organised coalition of the willing – countries that are able and willing to deploy some stabilising force to Ukraine once a peace agreement is achieved,

he said

If there’s going to be a peace deal, Ukraine cannot be a member of NATO. I think that’s largely accepted,

Witkoff said

I think that’s open for discussion,

Witkoff said without providing more details

Russia broke the previous Budapest and Minsk agreements, so any new peace agreement must therefore be secured by firm guarantees that it will be respected."

Fallon said

Europe must be ready to deter future breaches by committing to the principle of 'snap back' to the current sanctions and asset freezes."

He said

I think that Zelenskyy, and he's got a right-hand guy, Yermak, I think that they've largely conceded that they are not going to be a member of NATO,

he said

Do you think there will be elections in Ukraine?"

Carlson asked

I would like us to have some concrete outcomes. We have discussed this with President Macron,

the Ukrainian president added
