The U.K. and France signed a declaration Tuesday pledging troops for Ukraine under a future peace deal and with security guarantees supported by the U.S. and allied partners.<\/p>\n
The declaration was adopted in Paris by the Coalition of the Willing and sets out what leaders said was a framework for lasting peace between Ukraine and Russia, set in international law and the principles of the United Nations Charter.<\/p>\n
Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, triggered Europe\u2019s largest conflict since World War II.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The new agreement says that Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty and its ability to defend itself are non-negotiable elements of any peace deal and warned that its self-defense is essential to its own security and wider Euro-Atlantic stability.<\/p>\n
Under the plan, a multinational force for Ukraine would be deployed once a ceasefire is in place, aimed at deterring any Russian aggression and supporting the rebuilding of Ukraine\u2019s military.<\/p>\n
The force would be European-led with proposed support from the U.S.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The declaration also commits the Coalition to security guarantees that would be activated once a ceasefire begins.<\/p>\n
These include commitments to support Ukraine militarily, diplomatically and economically in the event of a future armed attack by Russia.<\/p>\n
A key U.S. role is outlined in plans for a continuous, U.S.-led ceasefire monitoring and verification mechanism, with contributions from partners.<\/p>\n
The U.S. would participate in a special commission to manage ceasefire breaches, attribute responsibility and determine solutions.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Coalition members also agreed to carry on with long-term military support for Ukraine and pledged defense cooperation, including training, defense production and intelligence sharing.<\/p>\n
Leaders also announced the creation of a permanent U.S.-Ukraine-Coalition coordination cell based at the Coalition\u2019s headquarters in Paris.<\/p>\n
The declaration was unveiled at a joint news conference by French President Emmanuel Macron, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer.<\/p>\n
This followed talks in Paris which were attended by Jared Kushner and the U.S. special envoy, Steve Witkoff.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
