"More than two dozen countries from the so-called coalition of the willing, along with Ukraine and the United States, issued a joint declaration, noting that any settlement to end Russia's war on Ukraine will have to be backed up by robust security guarantees for Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, French President Emmanuel Macron, and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer signed a separate agreement, declaring their shared intent to deploy multinational forces to support Kyiv's defence and reconstruction if a ceasefire with Russia is agreed on."
"Macron said that several thousand French soldiers could be deployed to Ukraine to maintain peace, telling France 2 television that the forces will not be engaged in combat but will act as a force of reassurance. Starmer told reporters after the meeting that, following a ceasefire, the UK and Francewill establish military hubs across Ukraine and build protected facilities for weapons and military equipment to support Ukraine's defensive needs."

Germany could monitor a ceasefire from a neighbouring country. Belgium offered naval and air support and limited in-country training.
