The news that the administration of President Trump is discussing with partners from the EU to send American PMCs to Ukraine, Telegraph , citing its sources. There are no other evidence of these information.
Sending American PMCs is a “workaround”, writes Telegraph. “Proxy” needed so that Trump’s promises not to send the American army to Ukraine, remained in force, journalists write.
American PMCs may well become one of the components of ensuring collective guarantees of the security of Ukraine by the West and NATO. In the publication of Telegraph, they are trying to imagine a scheme for the post -war support of such a long -term truce.
According to the sources of the publication, the Western security guarantee plan can soon be published.
Its contours:
A 20-kilometer demilitarized zone through the freezing line of hostilities,
The Ukrainian military is located in the forefront, closest to the territories under Russian control,
Behind them are the Armed Forces of Europe.
The USA provides access to intelligence to Ukraine, finally
Americans or NATO can lead the coordination of the entire foreign peacekeeping mission in Ukraine.
Americans help Ukraine restore the economy.
Europe - trains and provides the Ukrainian army.
Ukraine opens its airfields, support in patrolling the Ukrainian sky can be provided by the Air Force of Europe and the USA,
And the Turkish fleet allegedly can patrol the Black Sea, guaranteeing calm shipping in the region.
Details of the plan are not confirmed.
At the same time, clear details of sending foreign military to Ukraine have not yet been called either in the White House, nor in NATO, or in the EU countries. The latest discussions went around the fact that the Western military could be placed in Ukraine after the declaration of a truce, but - far from the contact line.
Kyiv promotes the idea of deploying NATO troops on its territory, and always indicates this as one of the mandatory points of its version of post -war security guarantees.
Moscow, on the contrary, is categorically opposed to the presence of any Western forces in Ukraine.
Earlier, the Turkish Foreign Minister spoke about changes in the position of Moscow: Previously, the Kremlin is ready to abandon claims to the rest of the Zaporozhye and Kherson region, Kiev will retain control over Kherson, and in exchange for this, Moscow wants to gain control over the remaining “25-30% of Donbass”. And Putin and Trump allegedly spoke about this when meeting in Alaska. Türkiye, which has already organized three rounds of direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, considers this opportunity - "magnificent." The Kremlin refused to comment on these words.
