European military leaders discuss Ukraine peacekeeping force
Briefly

A meeting in England gathered senior military officials from over 30 countries to discuss implementing a peacekeeping force in Ukraine as a partial ceasefire is negotiated. U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized the urgency of planning for peace, noting that any deal must be backed by credible support to prevent violations by Russia. French President Macron announced a forthcoming meeting in Paris with Ukraine's President Zelenskyy to further coordinate efforts. Zelenskyy conveyed his commitment to work with U.S. leadership to safeguard civilian infrastructure during the conflict.
"It is vitally important we do that work, because we know one thing for certain which is a deal without anything behind it is something that Putin will breach."
"We hope there will be a deal but what I do know is if there is a deal, the time for planning is now."
