As the U.S. and Russia continue talks to end the war in Ukraine, European leaders are developing a plan for European forces to prevent future Russian aggression. The proposal, supported by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, envisions a European force in Ukraine to maintain peace after a ceasefire.
The plan involves fewer than 30,000 European troops stationed away from the front line, supported by Western air and sea power. Surveillance technology like drones would monitor the front line, with air power on standby to deter breaches. The U.S. is seen as crucial for providing security guarantees to deter Russia.
