Countries Pledge Ukraine Force Post-Peace Deal Amid Putin Concerns
A coalition of 26 countries pledged to deploy troops in Ukraine as a reassurance force to deter further Russian aggression following any peace agreement, French President Macron said.
- On Thursday, leaders announced that 26 countries formally pledged to deploy troops in Ukraine as a reassurance force after a potential peace deal.
- This comes more than three and a half years after Russia began its large-scale military offensive in Ukraine in early 2022, amid increasing frustration over President Putin's unwillingness to engage in peace negotiations.
- French President Macron, speaking alongside Ukraine's Zelenskyy, explained that while troops would not be stationed at the frontline, their purpose is to deter further significant hostile actions and support the rebuilding of Ukraine's military forces.
- Macron highlighted that the United States was clear about its willingness to contribute to security guarantees, though the exact American involvement remains uncertain, as Trump's envoy met with Zelenskyy separately.
- The announcement suggests a significant step in European efforts to act independently and reinforce Ukraine's defense, while German and Italian leaders remain cautious about troop commitments.
