European leaders face tough choices as the UK and France host another meeting on Ukraine
European leaders discuss deploying up to 30,000 troops in a reassurance force to deter future Russian aggression, contingent on U.S. support and amid ongoing conflict risks.
- Approximately 30 nations convened in Paris on Thursday to explore ways to ensure Ukraine's security following the conflict, despite the ongoing war and absence of a ceasefire.
- The meetings follow U.S. President Donald Trump's August summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, in which Trump failed to persuade Putin to stop fighting and shifted from calling for a ceasefire.
- European leaders Macron and Starmer emphasized that any reassurance force in Ukraine requires U.S. backing, while experts warn troop deployments without a ceasefire are too risky and could lack clear mission purpose.
- Ed Arnold said there is “absolutely no guarantee” Trump will honor commitments given past withdrawals from agreements, and Ben Hodges stated Western troops in Ukraine would have zero credibility without clear objectives.
- The coalition’s discussions imply increased arms spending for Kyiv and potential troop contributions from the U.K. and France, but substantial uncertainties remain over U.S. involvement and the sufficiency of deterrence.
