French President Emmanuel Macron announced the creation of a new working group to support Ukraine. The countries will deal with security guarantees.
This was reported by Le Monde.
The group will be led by the United Kingdom and France. It is planned that Turkey, which will “play a key role at sea,” and the United States will also join.
The so-called “pacification forces” should become the second line of defense if Ukraine and Russia conclude a peace agreement.
According to Macron, the coming days will allow countries to agree in detail on each other’s contributions and finally form security guarantees.
“This is important for negotiations on a reliable peace and for maintaining pressure on Russia,” he explained.
In addition, the French president assured that a final decision on the frozen Russian assets will be made in the near future. Macron is convinced that the funds are one of the mechanisms for putting pressure on Russia.
“We will finally agree on this decision in the coming days, in coordination with all the most interested European countries and, of course, with the European Union and the European Commission,” he concluded.
Earlier, Keir Starmer confirmed that London is ready to send British troops to defend Ukraine after the cessation of hostilities.
