US EditionUS Offers Air and Intelligence Support to Postwar Force in Ukraine, FT Says
The United States offers intelligence and air defense support to Ukraine's postwar security, contingent on European countries committing tens of thousands of troops, sources said.
- On August 26, the Financial Times reported the United States plans to support a European-led peacekeeping force in postwar Ukraine with intelligence, air defense, and battlefield oversight.
- This plan comes after discussions among Ukrainian, U.S., and European officials focused on establishing security arrangements for Kyiv following a potential peace agreement and calls for European nations to commit tens of thousands of troops.
- The framework is led by a Coalition of the Willing headed by the UK and France, with U.S. providing strategic enablers such as satellites, radars, and command systems from the rear, while the U.S. rules out deploying ground troops.
- Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and other officials have opposed foreign peacekeepers in Ukraine, calling it foreign military intervention and demanding Russia's participation in any security talks.
- The U.S. is now open to participating in Ukraine's postwar security efforts, a departure from its previous stance of non-involvement, though this offer remains tentative; the plan envisions Ukrainian border forces trained by NATO and European peacekeepers overseeing a demilitarized zone within Ukraine.
