It is noted that the US is not a formal signatory to this document.
"The relevant statement of the 'coalition of the willing' was approved by the members of the coalition and discussed in detail with the US," said an official from the Élysée Palace.
The final text of the Paris Declaration of the "Coalition of the Willing" differs from the draft in that the paragraph on multinational coalition forces does not mention the United States' commitment to support them in the event of Russia violating the ceasefire agreement.
The draft stated that the multinational forces "will be led by Europeans, with the involvement of non-European coalition members, and with the participation of the United States, including American capabilities such as intelligence and logistics, with the United States committing to support these forces in the event of an attack."
The final version of the Paris Declaration of the "Coalition of the Willing" states that the multinational force "will be led by Europeans, with the involvement of non-European coalition members and the proposed support of the United States."
What preceded this?
