“The main aim of `coalition of willing` which hopefully would be `coalition of resolute`, would be to ensure that Ukraine has the means to defend against the new Russian offensive.

Leo Litra, Senior Research Fellow at the New Europe Center and Visiting Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), stated in podcast “The Global Agora”. The project is lead by Andrej Matisak, Journalist and Deputy Head of the foreign desk in the Slovak daily Pravda.
