Ukrainian President Zelensky set to participate in Paris summit discussings regarding security assurances for Ukraine.
In a significant gathering, the leaders of several European countries will convene in Paris to discuss the security of Ukraine, with a focus on providing guarantees to prevent future Russian attacks. The summit, known as the "Coalition of the Willing," will be chaired by President Emmanuel Macron of France and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz will also join the European politician leading the coalition, alongside Macron and Starmer. The gathering, consisting of approximately 30 European countries, aims to find a solution to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
The issue of Western-backed security guarantees for Ukraine has been a central point in recent diplomatic discussions. With the US President, Donald Trump, not expected to participate in the gathering, it is left to the European leaders to forge a path forward. However, Trump has indicated that the US could support a European peacekeeping plan, but would not deploy US soldiers to Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Zelensky is planning to attend the summit, and the discussions are expected to cover a range of topics, with the main focus being security guarantees for Ukraine and promoting diplomacy.
The leaders will also assess the consequences of Russia's persistent refusal of peace, and Russia's opposition to any Western peacekeeping troops has been noted. The meeting will focus on discussing work on security guarantees for Ukraine, and a potential security arrangement when the conflict ends could involve a European peacekeeping force.
It is worth mentioning that Trump held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, but there was no breakthrough. Despite this, the leaders will continue their discussions in Paris, hoping to find a lasting solution to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
In a related development, Ministers from the coalition countries will discuss military support for Ukraine on Wednesday, three days after Trump gathered Zelensky and European leaders at the White House for talks. The Paris summit promises to be a crucial step in finding a resolution to the Ukraine crisis, and the world awaits the outcomes of these discussions with bated breath.
