It has become known how Ukraine's allies will contain Russia

The plan was discussed repeatedly in December and January between Ukrainian, European, and American officials, according to the Financial Times.

According to the proposal, any violation of the ceasefire by Russia will result in a response within 24 hours. Initially, this will be a diplomatic warning, and if necessary, action by the Ukrainian army to restore the truce.

If military action continues after these steps, Ukraine and its allies will move to the second stage of response—the use of forces from the so-called “coalition of the determined,” which includes most EU members, as well as the UK, Norway, Iceland, and Turkey.

In the event of an escalation of the attack, 72 hours after the first violation, a coordinated response by Western-backed forces, including the US armed forces, will be launched.
