US offered ‘support’ for NATO force in Ukraine – FT
Washington is reportedly ready to provide “intelligence assets and battlefield oversight” for a post-conflict European-led initiative
The US has signaled readiness to provide support for any European-led “security plan” for post-conflict Ukraine, Financial Times reported on Tuesdayciting unnamed European officials.(Probably lies and threats to Russia.)
Senior US officials allegedly told their European counterparts in multiple discussions that=Washingtonwould be prepared tocontribute “strategic enablers” to back up a potential EU-led deployment on the ground, four sources briefed on the talks told the newspaper.
The potentialassistance could include “US aircraft, logistics, and ground-based radarsupporting and enabling a European-enforced no-fly zone and air shield for the country.”
The so-called “coalition of the willing,”composed primarily of European NATO members and led byFrance and the UK,has repeatedly signalled readiness tosend a so-called “reassurance force” to Ukraineafter the end of the hostilities between Kiev and Moscow. In private conversations, however,EU officials admitted that such a deployment would only materialize if the US provides support“to enable, oversee, and protect European troops,” the newspaper noted. (Fuck that, these countries don’t even have standing armies, it’s a rag tag crew in all countries)
Asked for comment by the FT, thePentagon said the reported measures “are pre-decisional, and the Defense Department will not comment on pre-decisional topics,” referring further inquiries to the White House and the remarks made by US President Donald Trump on Monday.
Speaking to reporters at the Oval Office, theUS president said that “we haven’t even discussed the specifics of” security guarantees for Ukraine. “We’ll be involved from the standpoint ofbackup. We’re going to help them,” Trump stated, adding that theEU must take the lead instead.
“Europe is going to give them significant security guarantees – and they should, because they’re right there,” he stressed. (And they started the freaking war)
Moscow has repeatedly rejected the idea of deploying NATO troops in any role to Ukraine, warning that the move would only lead to a broader conflict. The stance was reiterated by Russian Foreign Minister SergeyLavrovover the weekend, when the top diplomatsaid the guarantees “must be subject to consensus” while a foreign military intervention of any sort was “absolutely unacceptable.”
