 Ukraine war briefing: US backs European ceasefire security guarantees for the first time 

Ukraine War Briefing: US backs European ceasefire security guarantees for the first time. Ukraine's allies, Britain and France, have agreed to establish a powerful security guarantee

Designed to secure a lasting peace if a ceasefire is reached. The

A coalition of willing representatives from 35 countries pledged a US-led monitoring mission and a multilateral European force

To be deployed after a ceasefire with Russia. After finalizing the pledges, French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Cameron, and Ukrainian

President Vlad Myslensky signed a declaration of intent. President Emmanuel Macron confirmed that France was ready to send thousands of troops as a guarantee.

Britain and France plan to set up a military base in Ukraine. Operational convergence has been achieved among the 35 member states of the

Alliance, including Ukraine and the United States, in building strong security guarantees

Confirming the Trump administration’s support for the security framework for Ukraine, U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff said the president is committed to Ukraine.

The peace and security protocols aimed at preventing further attacks on Ukraine.

Any attack in Ukraine is an attack, and if there is an attack, they will defend themselves. They are as strong as anyone has ever seen.

The president does not back down from his promises. He is strong for the country of Ukraine and for the peace agreement, and we will be there to help the Ukrainians achieve that final peace.

And we are confident that we will get there. After the meeting, German Chancellor Friedrich Meir suggested that German forces could participate by monitoring troops from neighboring NATO territory.

The troops stationed in Ukraine are primarily Ukrainian troops that need to be strengthened and supported, but

Also, to get neighboring states to deploy additional troops to Ukraine, which could be deployed in the event of Russian aggression. For Zelensky, the most difficult task lies ahead.

While the security cage has been built, the map of Ukraine is the last, most explosive sticking point. While

Expressing satisfaction with the results, Zelensky said that the most important issue that still needs to be resolved was the territorial question, referring to Russian demands.

Ukraine should give up its eastern Donbass region. Currently, 20% is held by Russia. With these documents, we are further strengthening the legal work in the countries with the parliaments.

So that when diplomacy succeeds in ending the war, we will be fully prepared to deploy the forces of the coalition of our choice. The biggest remaining issue

What still needs to be worked on is how I can help an area. Teams are unable to solve some problems, which can be escalated to the level of leaders.
