The leaders of France and the UK are set to meet with President Trump in Washington next week to discuss the possibility of establishing a European “reassurance force” in Ukraine. This force would be responsible for monitoring a potential ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, with reports suggesting it would consist of less than 30,000 troops protected by US fighter planes if necessary.
However, it remains uncertain whether the Trump Administration will agree to provide support for this proposed European force. The potential involvement of the US in such a peacekeeping mission raises questions about the country’s foreign policy priorities and commitment to addressing the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
As tensions continue to simmer in the region, European leaders are looking to take a proactive role in keeping the peace in Ukraine. The outcome of the upcoming discussions between European leaders and President Trump could have significant implications for the future of the conflict and the broader geopolitical landscape in Eastern Europe.
