Overview
- Allies endorsed a continuous ceasefire monitoring system to be led by the United States with international participation once a truce is in place.
- Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer signed a declaration of intent for a European-led multinational force to deploy in Ukraine after a ceasefire, including plans for UK–French “military hubs” on Ukrainian soil.
- Partners agreed to create a U.S.–Ukraine–Coalition coordination cell at the Coalition Operational Headquarters in Paris to steer post-ceasefire operations and guarantees.
- Leaders moved toward legally binding commitments to support Ukraine in any future Russian attack with potential military, intelligence, logistical, diplomatic and sanctions measures, subject to final texts and ratification.
- Key gaps persist on the Donbas territorial question, force size and rules of engagement, with Germany signaling it could join ceasefire monitoring from a neighboring country and Russia opposing Western troops in Ukraine.
