Canada and Poland discussed the form of a possible postwar peace in Ukraine on Monday while the allies continued to expel what type of security guarantee are prepared to offer.
Prime Minister Mark Carney met with his Polish counterpart, Donald Tusk, in Warsaw, where the two leaders gave the last touches an improved strategic association.
It was also an opportunity for the two leaders to compare notes after the weekend trip from Carney to kyiv, where he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and gave more details about the additional commitment of Canada of $ 2 billion in military aid.
Unlike Canada, Tusk said Poland is not prepared to offer troops as part of its security guarantees.
“I have also confirmed that Poland does not intend to send troops in a mission in Ukraine after the war,” Tusk said in translated comments after his meeting with Carney.
“But Poland would be responsible for logistics, to organize help for Ukraine, to also protect the European-Rusa-Bellara-Bellara border, because they are also Polish borders“
While I was in kyiv on Sunday, Carney said he would not rule out a presence of Canadian troop in Ukraine. But how that would be seen has not yet been determined.
The shape and scope of the possible high fire have not been established.
That means that a peace maintenance force could be anything, from a group of observers to a very armored battle group.
Ukraine has demanded that its allies present iron guarantees covered with iron before any possible fire or peace agreement with Russia. The idea is to prevent Moscow from resuming its war at some point in the future.
MANUFACTURING EFFORT OF JOINS
Allies may be talking and promising, but Kremlin has said that he will not agree with any post -war security force raises for the United States or any other NATO member.
The idea of a so -called coalition of countries willing to guarantee the security of Ukraine was first proposed by the French and British.
As part of the new military assistance package presented by Canada, it is a proposal for the joint manufacture of drones with Ukraine.
On Sunday, Carney and the Minister of Defense, David McGuinty, toured a Ukrainian drone manufacturer.
Ukraine, a world leader in small combat drones, has just signed a $ 50 billion agreement with the United States and, according to reports, is preparing to open manufacturing facilities in Europe.
The scope of the Canada agreement has not yet been defined, McGuinty said.
“Look, that will be resolved,” Canadian journalists told in Warsaw on Monday.
“What we did yesterday agreed that both countries would cooperate in the manufacture of drones.”
