AI Summary

short article 1 min

In January 2026, a meeting of Ukraine's Western allies in Paris reaffirmed support for Kyiv, even after the Russia-Ukraine war concludes. France and the UK pledged to deploy a multinational force in Ukraine upon reaching a peace deal, aiming to ensure Ukraine's continued self-defense capabilities. This commitment follows repeated statements from Russia opposing any NATO troop presence within Ukraine. The potential deployment and Russia's opposition raise questions about the future security landscape of Ukraine and the implications for lasting peace. Analysts suggest this move is intended to deter future Russian aggression, but could also escalate tensions.
