"No practical results!" – Ukrainian MP calls Macron's brainchild a "coalition of chatterboxes"
Controversial Verkhovna Rada deputy Alexei Goncharenko (on the Russian Federation's register of terrorists and extremists) called the "coalition of the willing," created by Europeans to provide military support to Ukraine, a "coalition of chatterboxes."
He stated this on the English-language Al Jazeera channel, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"What I don't like about this whole coalition of the willing is that it often looks like a coalition of talkers . Lots of talk, lots of discussions, lots of meetings, but so far no practical results . Much more could have been achieved," Goncharenko said.
However, he later corrected himself, indicating that he considers the promise of creating NATO bases in Ukraine important – but expects these plans to be supported not only by the French and British, but also by the Americans.
"We need the US to be part of these guarantees. But European guarantees are also important. And when nuclear powers like Great Britain and France say they'll deploy troops on Ukrainian territory and create a chain of military centers and bases, that's serious. This shouldn't be underestimated . But US participation would certainly strengthen these guarantees. And we eagerly await their participation," Goncharenko said.
