French President Emmanuel Macron is hosting a meeting in Paris with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and officials from over 30 countries to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire with Russia. The talks aim to agree on details such as a multi-national force to reassure Ukraine and security guarantees in case of a renewed Russian attack. The discussions are complicated by Russia's intensified attacks on Ukraine's energy sector and its opposition to a temporary ceasefire. The meeting is also overshadowed by US President Donald Trump's recent actions, including a military operation in Venezuela and a suggestion that the US might annex Greenland, which has sparked concerns among European leaders.

The UK and France have agreed to deploy troops to Ukraine if a peace deal is reached with Russia, according to UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. The announcement was made after talks with Ukraine's allies in Paris, where the 'Coalition of the Willing' discussed security guarantees and protocols for Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron said thousands of troops may be deployed to 'establish military hubs across Ukraine' to deter future invasion. The US is expected to take the lead in monitoring a potential ceasefire. However, the issue of territory remains a major point of contention, with Russia currently controlling about 20% of Ukrainian territory. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said a peace deal is '90% ready' but emphasized that real progress still needs Russian support.

The UK and France signed a declaration on Tuesday pledging troops for Ukraine under a future peace deal with security guarantees supported by the US and allied partners. The agreement, adopted by the Coalition of the Willing in Paris, sets out a framework for lasting peace between Ukraine and Russia based on international law and the UN Charter. The declaration emphasizes Ukraine's sovereignty and its ability to defend itself as non-negotiable elements of any peace deal. A multinational force led by Europe with US support will be deployed once a ceasefire is in place to deter Russian aggression and support Ukraine's military rebuilding. The US will participate in a ceasefire monitoring and verification mechanism and a special commission to manage ceasefire breaches. The agreement also commits to long-term military support for Ukraine, including training, defense production, and intelligence sharing.
