Expanded European dynamics: Europe and Canada unexpectedly create an autonomous geopolitical track, surprising Washington

On March 20, 2025, a strategic meeting of the military leadership of 30 democratic countries will be held in London to plan potential peacekeeping missions in Ukraine in the post-war period.

The initiative to create a so-called “coalition of the willing” that would provide security guarantees for Ukraine and monitor the implementation of the ceasefire came from British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron.

Europe is increasingly assuming responsibility for the continent’s security, rejecting American plans to make concessions to Russia at the expense of Ukraine to break the Russia-China alliance.
