The UK and France, as part of the "Coalition of the Willing," signed a declaration in Paris outlining security guarantees for Ukraine following a potential ceasefire with Russia. The agreement, supported by the U.S., pledges military, diplomatic, and economic assistance to Ukraine in the event of future Russian aggression. A multinational force, European-led with U.S. support, would be deployed to deter aggression and rebuild Ukraine's military. The U.S. would also lead a ceasefire monitoring and verification mechanism and participate in a commission to manage breaches. The Coalition committed to long-term military support, defense cooperation, and established a coordination cell in Paris. The declaration was announced by leaders from France, Ukraine, and the UK.
