Coalition Nears Deal on Ukraine Security Guarantees as Paris Meeting Opens

Paris talks focus on locking in a post‑ceasefire framework, with Washington’s exact role still undefined.

Overview

  • Mark Rutte said the roughly 30‑nation coalition expects clarity on a guarantees concept by today or soon after.
  • Emmanuel Macron stated preparatory military work is complete and ready for political sign‑off once a peace deal is in place.
  • The agenda includes potential training of Ukrainian forces on Ukrainian soil and options for reconnaissance and advisory missions.
  • Germany remains cautious, saying binding guarantees should follow a ceasefire or peace agreement and signaling no plans for ground troops.
  • Estonia reaffirmed willingness to contribute soldiers to a possible European force, while President Trump has promised support pending a defined U.S. involvement.
