Zelenskyy says he discussed French troop idea with Macron
Ukraine president said work continued on proposal to put European forces on the ground; Nato chief Mark Rutte warns European leaders not to pre-empt peace process.
“We share a common vision: reliable guarantees are essential for a peace that can truly be achieved,” said Ukraine’s president, who was in Brussels on Wednesday for meetings with Nato’s chief and European leaders. “We continued working on President Macron’s initiative regarding the presence of forces in Ukraine that could contribute to stabilising the path to peace.” Macron’s office said France was making reinforced support for Ukraine its “absolute priority” and would continue giving Ukraine “the means to defend itself and to make Russia’s war of aggression fail”. Macron would maintain a “tight dialogue with Ukraine and its international partners to work for a return to a fair and lasting peace”.
Hmmm.... There are still talks about this, but are they just talks?
