French President Emmanuel Macron stated that Europe plays a key role in ensuring the security of Ukraine, as well as in creating the best conditions for possible negotiations with Russia. He outlined four fundamental security guarantees that should strengthen Ukraine's defense capability and strengthen its position in the international arena.
France, the United Kingdom and Germany are already coordinating their efforts to guarantee Ukraine strong diplomatic and military positions.
French President named four major areas of support for Ukraine: immediate military assistance - Europe will continue to supply weapons, including new weapons initiatives that will take into account the current needs of the Ukrainian army. Increasing the defense capability of Ukraine - EU countries will contribute to the development of military structures so that Ukraine can effectively resist future threats from Russia. It is possible to deploy troops within the international coalition - some European and non -European countries have already expressed interest in creating strategic military presence in Ukraine. Strengthening Europe's defense capability - an increase in investment in the military sector and coordination between the Armed Forces of EU countries will promote overall regional security. Macron paid special attention to the possible deployment of European troops in Ukraine. He stressed that this does not mean large -scale military presence, but rather strategic deployment of units that can ensure stability and security. According to him, technical details on the composition of troops, participating countries and logistics are still discussed, and final decisions can be made in the coming days.
The French leader also stressed that the termination of the war cannot be dictated only by the Kremlin. Europe, given the experience of the Minsk Agreements, understands that without proper security guarantees, Ukraine cannot impose territorial concessions.
