At a NATO "Coalition of the Willing" defense ministers’ meeting in Brussels on April 10, the possibility of creating an external security force to ensure Ukraine’s safety in a potential ceasefire with Russia was discussed, alongside concerns about U.S. commitment to NATO.
During a NATO defense ministers’ meeting held in Brussels on April 10, the creation of a multinational "security force" to support Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire with Russia was a major topic of discussion. The meeting was organized by France and the United Kingdom and included defense ministers from 31 NATO member countries. The goal was to outline plans for a force aimed at preventing further Russian aggression.
Minister of Defence of Finland Antti Hakkinen emphasized the importance of strengthening Ukraine’s own military forces, stating, " The main focus must be that Ukraine's armed forces are the top priority to strengthen up. That's their key security guarantee." He added that increasing support for Ukraine’s army and defense industry post-ceasefire was crucial.
Hakkinen also noted that U.S. involvement in such a force would be ideal. "From the Finnish perspective, we think the United States is a crucial player in guaranteeing lasting security, and that’s why we are emphasizing that the United States must be involved somehow," he said.
While France and the United Kingdom are working with their allies on plans to establish a land, air, and sea "security force" for Ukraine, sending such a force seems unlikely at this stage. Instead, NATO is considering strengthening its forces in neighboring countries as a more viable alternative.
The meeting also highlighted growing concerns over the U.S.'s commitment to NATO. The absence of the United States from the meeting raised questions about its ongoing dedication to the alliance, especially amid rumors of a potential reduction of U.S. military presence in Europe. These concerns have sparked fears about the future unity of NATO and the trust between its members.
