- Allies agreed in principle to a multinational reassurance/peacekeeping force for post-ceasefire deployment, positioned away from the front line.
- France and the United Kingdom signed a narrower understanding to place troops or hubs in Ukraine once fighting stops, while Germany limits any deployment to neighboring NATO states and Italy rules out ground forces.
