President Donald Trump's Nod to Europe on a Future Peace Force for Ukraine Vastly Improves Its Chances of Success

President Donald Trump approved U.S. support for a European-led mission tasked with overseeing any prospective peace deal in Ukraine, signaling his endorsement during a call with European leaders ahead of his August 15, 2025, summit with Vladimir Putin.
This move comes after extensive planning by more than 200 military experts developing the Multinational Force Ukraine during the conflict's fourth year, while the Trump administration had previously been reluctant to commit, possibly reserving U.S. involvement as a bargaining tool in negotiations with Russia.
The coalition of around 30 countries seeks to strengthen Ukraine’s defenses on land, sea, and air, but key members like Greece and Italy have publicly declined to provide troops, and Russian officials dismiss the peacekeeping concept.
U.K. Defence Secretary John Healey stated the force will secure Ukraine's skies using aircraft and bolster the Black Sea Task Force, while French President Emmanuel Macron clarified Trump insisted NATO not be involved, with Trump agreeing all parties should take part.
Trump’s approval substantially improves the operation’s chances amid warnings Europe must manage its own security, though details of U.S. contributions remain undisclosed and it is unclear if more coalition members will join.
