Coalition of Willing countries tasked with submitting proposals for monitoring ceasefire in Ukraine - Macron

French President Emmanuel Macron said that Ukraine's partner countries from the Coalition of the Willing should prepare proposals for monitoring the ceasefire between the Ukrainian and russian armies within three weeks.

Macron said this at a press conference following the meeting of the Coalition of the Willing, as quoted by France 24.

According to him, at today's meeting it was decided to instruct the foreign ministers of the Coalition of the Willing countries to develop proposals for monitoring a possible ceasefire.

Macron said that a European peacekeeping force should be deployed in Ukraine as a deterrent.

France and the United Kingdom are leading efforts to send a deterrent force to Ukraine after a ceasefire is established. He stressed that the troops will be sent even if this idea is not approved by all European allies.

"These deterrent forces are a British-French proposal that Ukraine wants. It does not have unanimity, but we do not need unanimity to do this," Macron said.

The French leader added that in the near future Paris and London will send a delegation to Kyiv to discuss the deployment of peacekeeping forces. This will happen in the coming days.

As Ukrainian News Agency reported, earlier today, March 27, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the Coalition of the Willing is already working both politically and militarily.
