UK and France to Deploy Forces to Ukraine in Peace Deal Scenario - Europe Live
Britain and France have pledged to send troops to Ukraine if a peace deal is reached, a major commitment that has been months in the making. The announcement came after a summit in Paris hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron, where leaders from over 25 countries, including the US and European nations, gathered to discuss their stance on Ukraine.
In a declaration of intent signed by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, alongside French President Macron, the three leaders vowed to deploy forces to Ukraine in the event of a peace deal. This move is seen as a significant boost to Ukraine's security and stability, with Britain and France committing to bolstering security guarantees and supporting the regeneration of Ukraine's own forces.
The UK and France will establish a "Multinational Force for Ukraine" which will act as a reassurance force to ensure Ukraine's ability to return to peace and stability. The signing of the declaration paves the way for the legal framework to be established for French and UK forces to operate on Ukrainian soil, securing Ukraine's skies and seas.
In addition to this commitment, France has pledged to provide significant support to Ukraine's military efforts, with President Macron stating that his country will continue to "prove its support" to Ukraine in all areas. The UK, meanwhile, has committed to participating in US-led monitoring and verification of any ceasefire.
The move is seen as a major development in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, with many experts hailing it as a significant step towards peace. However, Russia is likely to block this move forcefully, highlighting the complexity and sensitivity of international diplomacy in the region.
As part of their efforts to support Ukraine, Britain and France will also establish military hubs across Ukraine, providing a secure environment for the deployment of French and British troops on Ukrainian soil. These hubs will enable the deployment and build protected facilities for weapons and military equipment to support Ukraine's defensive needs.
The Coalition of Willing leaders have issued a joint statement reaffirming their commitment to preserving security, stability, and cooperation in the Arctic region, highlighting the importance of respect for international law and the UN Charter.

just wondering when did peace become an option again? like we've been talking about this war in Ukraine for years now 
2020 feels like a lifetime ago...anyway, deploying troops is one thing but how are we gonna make sure they actually stick to the deal? i mean, russia's not exactly known for being diplomatic 
and france/uk can't just send in their soldiers without some serious assurances. what about the long-term plans here?
! This is a major deal if they can actually make it happen 
. I'm all for supporting Ukraine's efforts to get back to peace, but gotta keep an eye on Russia's reaction 
. Hope it works out in the long run, fingers crossed 
. It's a big step towards stability in the region 
. Need to see some concrete action now, not just words 
. Fingers crossed for Ukraine! 
I mean, can you even imagine how huge this is for Ukraine's security? It's like they're showing Russia who's boss 
President Macron knows what he's doing. The "Multinational Force for Ukraine" sounds so cool, it's like a superhero team 
We gotta keep an eye on it and hope everyone plays nice 
Anyway, I'm hyped about this development. It's all about finding peace and stability in Ukraine, and I am HERE. FOR. IT 
And let's not forget Russia will likely block this move forcefully, but are we expecting France and UK to take a stand against the mighty bear or will they cave in? 
The more I think about it, the more I'm inclined to believe that this is just another case of imperialist meddling 
my heart goes out to the people of Ukraine right now... I can only imagine how scary and uncertain this time must be for them 
... seeing leaders from other countries come together like this is such a big deal, it shows that not everyone thinks you're alone in this fight 
this whole thing feels like a PR stunt, and we'll see how long these commitments last once the cameras stop rolling 
. also what's with the "peace deal scenario" - sounds like they're just waiting for Ukraine to throw in the towel 
.
