Politico: Behind the Scenes of the Ukraine 'Coalition of the Willing' Summit

A meeting took place in Paris between the leaders of France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, and US officials, aiming to present a plan for long-term security guarantees for Ukraine. The plan envisions, under certain conditions, the deployment of British and French troops after a potential ceasefire. Although the US participated in the meeting, it did not co-sign the joint statement, raising concerns about the stability of the American commitment. The plan also includes long-term military support, the deployment of a European force on Ukrainian territory after peace, and binding support guarantees.
