Twenty-six countries have pledged postwar security guarantees for Ukraine, including a “reassurance force” on land, sea, and in the air, though troops would not be on the frontline.

French President Emmanuel Macron said the measures aim to prevent new aggression, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hailed the commitments as a concrete step.

The U.S. contribution is still being finalized, but Russia has rejected the idea of foreign forces in Ukraine.

The coalition of the willing, mainly European nations plus Canada, Australia, and Japan, continues to coordinate military and financial support, including recent U.S.-led arms deliveries, The Guardian has reported.

European leaders have pressed for stronger sanctions on Russia, whose economy shows signs of slowing despite continued military efforts.
