STORYLINE:
French President Macron on Tuesday met with army chiefs from over 30 countries in Paris for talks on creating an international force to deter future Russian aggression once a ceasefire is established.
They include troop size, location and, crucially, military options in the event of a transgression.
The Paris meeting is the most significant culmination so far of French and British efforts to rally nations under a so-called “coalition of the willing” to safeguard Ukraine by establishing a reassurance and deterrence force to dissuade Russia from invading again.
Macron, who is to attend the meeting, said it would be held in “close coordination” with the NATO alliance.
The talks will include nearly all 32 NATO countries — notably without the United States — as well as Commonwealth nations and Asian powers Japan and South Korea, said a French military official.
Participants will be invited to spell out what their militaries might be able and willing to contribute, be that troops, weapons or other assistance.
