26 Nations Pledge Post-Ceasefire Security Guarantees for Ukraine at Paris Summit
- French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Thursday that 26 countries have pledged troops to form a reassurance force for Ukraine after fighting ends.
- Following a Coalition of the Willing meeting in Paris, the group’s leaders emphasized the importance of U.S. support for any European reassurance force in Ukraine, with the French and British heads of government playing key roles in this stance.
- The force will deploy troops on land, sea, and air but not in frontline contact areas, with operational and legal frameworks to be formalized once a ceasefire or peace deal is reached.
- Zelenskyy hailed the participation of numerous nations in the reassurance force as a success and emphasized reliance on US support, while Macron clarified that the force aims to deter conflict rather than initiate any military action against Russia.
- The pledges signify long-term military support but face Russian rejection, and leaders indicated that increased sanctions and diplomatic pressure will continue if Moscow delays peace efforts.
