Paris, January 7 (Xinhua) — "Several thousand" French soldiers may be sent to Ukraine to maintain peace after the ceasefire, French President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview with France 2 television on Tuesday.
According to him, "France will take part in operations" monitoring the Russian-Ukrainian border after the signing of the ceasefire agreement. However, the president emphasized that French soldiers will not be a combat force. Paris will participate in "the restoration of the Ukrainian army," Macron added.
"Work is being conducted between the Ukrainians, the 'coalition of the willing,' and the Americans. They will be responsible for determining whether there are violations in the border area," the French leader said.
A coalition of about 30 European and other countries agreed at a meeting in Paris on Tuesday that any future peace settlement must include credible and binding security guarantees for Ukraine.
As stated in the joint declaration, they are prepared to establish a system of politically and legally binding guarantees after the ceasefire agreement comes into force. These measures will include participation in a US-led ceasefire monitoring mechanism, military support for Ukraine, and long-term defense cooperation.
