Heads up, everyone! 🌍 A coalition of about 30 Western and European members met in Paris and just made a big move, pledging strong, binding security guarantees for Ukraine. Here’s the lowdown:
Binding Security Guarantees
In a joint declaration, the 'Coalition of the Willing' committed to ensuring that any future peace settlement includes:
- Ceasefire monitoring: a US-led team checks both sides stick to the truce 🤝
- Military support for Ukraine’s defense
- Long-term cooperation to help rebuild and regenerate Ukraine’s forces
France & UK Ready to Help
France and the UK signed a declaration of intent to deploy troops if a peace deal is signed:
- France: 'several thousand' soldiers for peacekeeping and army regeneration, not combat forces 🇫🇷
- UK: establishing military hubs across Ukraine to boost local defense 🇬🇧
US Steps In
The US sent envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, plus General Alexus Grynkewich, to back the plan. Witkoff says former President Trump supports these security protocols. 🤝
Whether you’re in Mumbai or Manila, this move shows how collective action can pave the way for a more peaceful world. ✊
