On March 2, 2025, during the 2025 London Summit on Ukraine, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Macron announced the formation of a new “Coalition of the Willing.” This broad alliance, covering over 30 democracies
and most NATO members, has become a milestone in democratic international action.
Their goals:
- Provide robust new security guarantees for Ukraine
- Coordinate peacekeeping deployments and economic aid
- Demonstrate unity among democratic states in the face of aggression and authoritarian threats
Among the participants: the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Nordic countries, the Netherlands, Spain, Poland, the Baltics, Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand, and many others. The coalition represents the kind of democratic solidarity and
practical multilateralism that the Coalition for a World Security Community has long advocated. It is real-world evidence that if traditional global forums cannot unite action, new networks of democracies may step in to uphold security, justice,
and international law.
