Countries cannot be "dragooned" into joining a coalition aimed at protecting potential peace in Ukraine, Cabinet Office Minister Pat McFadden has said. The UK and France have been spearheading efforts to establish a "coalition of the willing" to deter Russia from further invading Ukraine, in the event of a peace deal. Earlier this week, UK officials said about 20 countries were interested in being involved although not every nation would necessarily send troops to Ukraine.
Main Idea: Pat McFadden said countries cannot be forced into a coalition to help protect any future peace deal in Ukraine, as the UK and France keep pushing for wider support.
Key Points:
If the UK and France send troops or more aid to Ukraine, US taxpayers and markets could face higher costs and more war risk.
A stronger peace plan could reduce the chance of a wider war and help keep energy and market shocks lower for US households.
