UK and France agree to deploy forces to Ukraine in the event of a peace deal – as it happened

Описание: Here’s a full detailed summary of today’s major international development: the UK and France agreeing to deploy forces to Ukraine if a peace deal is reached with Russia — based on live reporting and verified news sources. 

⸻

📍 What Happened — Live at the Paris Summit

🎯 Key Announcement
• At an international summit in Paris, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a declaration of intent stating that the UK and France would deploy forces to Ukraine if a peace deal/ceasefire with Russia is achieved. 

📌 Name of the Initiative
• This initiative is being referred to as a “Multinational Force for Ukraine” — a post-peace reassurance/security deployment rather than frontline combat operations. 

⸻

📍 What the Commitment Means

🪖 Deploying Troops Only After a Ceasefire/Peace Deal
• The agreement does not place UK or French troops into active war zones now. The deployment is conditional on a formal peace agreement or ceasefire being reached between Ukraine and Russia. 

📍 Purpose of the Forces
• These forces will act as a “reassurance” and security guarantee:
• Support rebuilding the Ukrainian armed forces and stabilize post-peace conditions.
• Potentially secure skies, seas, key infrastructure, and military hubs — but not engage in combat with Russian forces. 

🛡️ Not a Frontline Combat Role
• Leaders stressed these units wouldn’t be placed on frontlines or engaged in combat operations against Russia. Their role is defensive and supportive, offering long-term deterrence and stability.

🌍 How the Multinational Force Would Work

📍 Military Hubs
• The UK and France would establish military hubs across Ukrainian territory after a peace deal to:
• Host troops from participating countries.
• Provide protected facilities for equipment, training, and assistance to Ukrainian forces. 

🧭 Security Framework
• A US-led ceasefire monitoring and verification mission will operate alongside the European reassurance force, helping oversee peace implementation.

🇬🇧 UK Political Requirements

🪪 Parliamentary Approval
• UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said any future deployment of troops to Ukraine would be subject to approval by the UK Parliament once a peace deal is reached — meaning MPs will vote before British forces are sent. 

⸻

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 International Context

🌍 Coalition of Allies
• The tripartite declaration was made as part of a broader summit involving more than two dozen nations — a group some officials call the “coalition of the willing.” 

🇺🇸 US Role
• The United States backed security guarantees, offering to lead a ceasefire monitoring mission and provide intelligence and logistical support to the multinational effort. 

🤝 Other States’ Positions
• Several allied countries participated in discussions and expressed support, but far fewer have publicly committed to deploying ground troops at this stage. 

⸻

🔎 Current Limitations & Challenges

⚠️ No Peace Deal Yet
• These commitments are conditional and preparatory — there is no existing peace treaty or formal ceasefire in place yet. Russia has not indicated a willingness to accept such terms at this time. 

📊 Details Still to Be Finalised
• Exact troop numbers, contributions from other nations, legal frameworks, logistical arrangements, and timelines are still being worked out and would depend on future negotiations. 

⸻

🧠 In Summary
• 🇬🇧 UK and 🇫🇷 France have signed a declaration with Ukraine to deploy troops as part of a “multinational reassurance force” — but only after a peace deal or ceasefire with Russia is agreed. 
• The force will support stability, training, and rebuilding, not frontline combat. 
• The US backs security guarantees and will lead ceasefire monitoring. 
• Parliamentary approval in the UK is required before any deployment happens.
