Foreign ministers of Ukraine's partner countries have three weeks to come up with plans for monitoring a ceasefire, states French President Emmanuel Macron, according to Sky News.

According to him, during the Coalition of the Willing meeting, it was decided to instruct foreign ministers to develop proposals for monitoring the ceasefire.

They have three weeks to present them.

Macron also announced that the UK and France would send a military delegation to Ukraine to work with the Ukrainian armed forces to help them plan for the future.

According to him, this will allow the coalition to move forward.

They will study "what format is required in terms of the number of soldiers and what equipment and hardware is required in order to respond to future Russian aggression and deter any Russian aggression."

"This will enable us to move forward to a planning phase in order to clarify the contribution of each country that's a member of our coalition, in order to give Ukraine a clear idea of the very precise action plan we want to put in place," said Macron.

Coalition of the Willing

Today, a summit of the Coalition of the Willing is taking place in France, discussing options for sending a military contingent to Ukraine. The coalition was initiated by the United Kingdom, which will play a leading role in it.

In particular, it is known that London is ready to send a peacekeeping military contingent with air support.

Details about the summit in Paris are available in the RBC-Ukraine material.

Earlier this week, the United States held separate technical talks with Ukraine and Russia in Riyadh. They discussed a ceasefire between Ukraine and the Russian Federation.

As a result of the talks, Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire in the Black Sea and an "energy ceasefire" with Russia. However, the Kremlin only agreed to the idea of an energy ceasefire. Furthermore, Russia began demanding that the West first lift some sanctions from them.
