Leaders of the Coalition of the Willing discuss ceasefire monitoring, security guarantees and a post-war multinational presence in Ukraine, with U.S. oversight

The deployment of a multinational force in Ukraine after the war and the monitoring of a future ceasefire—primarily under U.S. leadership—were central topics at the Coalition of the Willing summit held in Paris. French President Emmanuel Macron said preparations are continuing for a multinational force intended to provide security assurances once fighting with Russia ends, noting that Italy will not take part in the initiative.

According to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the United Kingdom and France plan to establish military coordination hubs inside Ukraine after a ceasefire is reached. Paris, London, and Kyiv have signed a declaration of intent covering the possible deployment of forces once a peace agreement is in place. Starmer described the move as a key element of long-term support for Ukraine, providing a legal framework for partner forces to operate on land, in Ukrainian airspace, and at sea.

Multinational force in Ukraine after the war: Macron, “Significant progress”

Macron said the Paris meeting marked “significant progress” toward a lasting peace, highlighting broad alignment among the 35 participating countries on the need for strong security guarantees. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the United States is ready to support these guarantees, while Macron stressed that there should be no doubt about Washington’s commitment.

Zelensky emphasized that discussions went beyond symbolic statements, resulting in concrete steps and jointly signed commitments. He called the agreements a strong signal of European resolve to contribute to global security and to Ukraine’s long-term stability.

Further work will focus on legal approval through national parliaments and diplomatic efforts alongside military planning. Zelensky said additional documents will define how security will be ensured on Ukrainian territory, in its airspace, and in surrounding waters, as well as how monitoring mechanisms will function and how Ukraine’s armed forces will be supported.

Macron also announced the creation of a coordination cell designed to integrate relevant armed forces and ensure close cooperation between the coalition, the United States, and Ukraine. He added that ceasefire monitoring mechanisms will operate under U.S. leadership, with contributions from multiple partner states.

Starmer outlined the next steps: participation in the U.S.-led ceasefire monitoring system, sustained long-term military support for Ukraine, and assistance in the event of renewed Russian attacks. These measures, he said, are essential to building the practical foundations of peace—provided Moscow is willing to compromise.
