Leaders of the “coalition of the willing” group of nations will hold a video call on Thursday as chaotic American efforts to push through a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine reach a crunch moment.
Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said his officials would hand over a revised version of a peace plan to US negotiators on Wednesday before the call with leaders and officials from about 30 countries.
how about ending the war by forcing Russia to withdraw their military completely & to return seized territory to Ukraine?
It would be pretty easy with a few well placed missiles in Moscow. Or, just finish what Ukraine has been doing attacking oil refineries. Hit the rest of them and Russia will completely grind to a halt.
Force Russia? How?
With force, I would imagine. I mean, there is a war on, after all.
Coalition.of the willing Armies on the Ukraine / Belorussian borders, frees up Ukrainian troops and logistics for the front line.
Move in air squadrons and maintain air superiority. Send in troops for drone defence around energy and civilian targets.
Send in their armies…
Russia isn’t going to stop at Ukraine.
Wanna end the war? Maximize support to Ukraine.
Simple as that. But Russia knew since day 1 that “the West” won’t want to commit itself fully. Easy prediction since that’s exactly what happened in 2014 and basically all Russia’s expansionist activity since the 90s.
Well here’s to hoping that this will change. It has to change, really.

On March 1, 2025, Czech president Petr Pavel made a social media post on X, calling for the formation of a coalition of the willing to end the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The next day, British prime minister Keir Starmer echoed this sentiment after an international summit hosted in London between 18 European leaders. He said that the UK would work with France and other European countries to provide security guarantees for Ukraine, with a long-term goal of a peace agreement of some kind with Russia.
On August 18, 2025 President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen termed the emergency summit of European leaders at the August 2025 White House multilateral meeting on Ukraine “the Coalition of the Willing”.
