Germany, France and Poland to discuss assistance for Ukraine in Paris

The trilateral meeting will be held under the Weimar Triangle format, an informal international grouping of the three countries, formed in 1991.

The meeting of the three foreign ministers will focus primarily on providing additional, specific assistance to Ukraine. The meeting agenda has already been confirmed by the French Foreign Ministry.

On January 6, Ukraine, the United States, and the Coalition of the Willing countries met in Paris. The parties reaffirmed their commitment to achieving a lasting peace and agreed to continue supporting Kyiv. In addition, Ukraine, France, and the United Kingdom signed a declaration establishing a joint coordination group, marking the first step toward a Western military presence in Ukraine following the war.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer also said that military hubs would be established across Ukraine after a ceasefire takes effect. Moreover, Ukraine's partners plan to assume binding commitments in the event of future aggression by Russia.

At the same time, the security documents are expected to be further refined at the leadership level, with a focus on security guarantees and Ukraine's recovery, followed by consultations in the US with a broader group of countries.

In addition, representatives of Ukraine and the US will meet in Paris on January 7. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that the hardest issues in the peace plan will be discussed in Paris today, including territories and the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
