Countries under Macron's leadership, numbering 26, are prepared to intervene in Ukraine if a ceasefire is declared.

Countries led by Macron prepared to offer support for Ukraine's deployment, given a truce agreement. - International leaders, including Macron, have announced preparedness from 26 countries to intervene in Ukraine should a ceasefire be achieved.

In a significant development, more than 30 heads of state and government, including British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron of France, and Friedrich Merz of Germany, recently gathered in Paris to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine.

The aim of these security guarantees is not to provoke a war against Russia, but to secure a possible peace and deter Russia from renewed aggression. The discussions were held with the hope that the USA will continue to significantly contribute to efforts to support and shape a diplomatic process for Ukraine's security guarantees.

Germany, a key player in these negotiations, is ready to significantly contribute to strong security guarantees for Ukraine, including financing, armament, and training of Ukrainian military forces. However, Germany's military engagement will be decided at an appropriate time, contingent on the nature and scope of an engagement by the USA and the result of a negotiating process.

Italy, while not planning to send troops to Ukraine, is ready to support Kyiv with surveillance missions or training initiatives outside the borders of Ukraine. Germany, Italy, and Poland are among the countries that had formalized their participation in the security guarantees for Ukraine.

The USA's contribution to Ukraine's security guarantees, considered indispensable by many allies, will be clarified "in the coming days." Emmanuel Macron expressed hope that the USA will continue to play a significant role in these efforts.

Stefan Kornelius and Giorgia Meloni, among other heads of state and government, held a video conference with US President Donald Trump to discuss Ukraine's security guarantees. For the first time in a long time, "such serious concrete progress" has been achieved in discussions regarding security guarantees for Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked the allies for their readiness to deploy troops to Ukraine to secure a possible ceasefire. Friedrich Merz called for a summit to be worked towards, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in attendance, where a ceasefire must be agreed upon.

However, there is doubt about Russian President Vladimir Putin's willingness to engage in serious peace negotiations regarding Ukraine. Moscow rejected plans for a Western military presence in Ukraine, stating that such measures would be guarantees for danger to the European continent.

Europeans want to impose new sanctions "in coordination with the US" if Moscow continues to block peace talks. The agreed security guarantees for Ukraine will come into force on the day the conflict ends through a ceasefire, truce, or peace treaty.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte was unmoved by Russia's objections to a Western military presence in Ukraine, stating that they need to stop making Putin look powerful. The international community continues to work towards a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine.
