Western leaders reiterated their support for Ukraine following a virtual summit hosted by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on March 15, where leaders from 25 countries were in attendance.<\/p>\n

The virtual summit convened countries who could form a post-war peacekeeping force within Ukraine. As of March 13, the potential coalition consists<\/strong><\/a> of 37 countries, with the U.K. and France largely taking the lead as the only countries who have publicly committed to sending troops to Ukraine post-war.<\/p>\n

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese emphasized Australia\u2019s commitment to Ukraine, pledging to stand with the country “for as long as it takes.”<\/p>\n

“I reiterated Australia\u2019s strong and steadfast support for Ukraine and stated that Australia will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes,” Albanese said in an official statement<\/a> following the summit.<\/p>\n

He also stated that Australia is open to contributing to future peacekeeping efforts. “President Putin\u2019s regime has imperialist designs, for Ukraine and beyond,\u201d he said. \u201cWe must ensure Russia\u2019s illegal and immoral actions are not rewarded through any peace process.”<\/p>\n

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reaffirmed<\/a> Germany\u2019s support for Ukraine, stating that “Ukraine needs a just and lasting peace.” He thanked Keir Starmer for convening the meeting and stressed that “it is up to Russia to end the attacks and finally make peace possible.”<\/p>\n

French President Emmanuel Macron criticized<\/a> Putin, and accused Moscow of failing to engage in peace talks in good faith.<\/p>\n

“Russia does not give the impression of a country that sincerely desires peace,” Macron said after the summit. “It does not respond to the proposals of the United States and Ukraine. It intensifies hostilities. President Putin wants to get everything and then negotiate.”<\/p>\n

Macron argued that “peace through strength” remains the key to ending the conflict and that collective Western pressure on Russia is necessary. He also praised President Zelensky for proposing a ceasefire initiative and stated that for peace to last, Ukraine must have a “strong army that defends its country.”<\/p>\n

Finnish President Alexander Stubb expressed Finland\u2019s willingness to support Ukraine but was cautious about direct military involvement, in comments<\/a> to the BBC.<\/p>\n

“It is still too early to talk about putting troops on the ground because we don\u2019t have a ceasefire, we don\u2019t have a peace process,” Stubb told the BBC. “Once we have a clear plan, we start doing the commitments.”<\/p>\n

Stubb emphasized that there are “anywhere from zero to 50 different ways” to support Ukraine, but insisted that direct military involvement would only be considered if a peace deal is reached.<\/p>\n

The virtual summit highlighted<\/a> the growing pressure on Russia to engage in meaningful peace talks while reinforcing Western unity in supporting Ukraine\u2019s defense and long-term stability.<\/p>\n
