Macron: The EU could send soldiers to Ukraine after a peace agreement.

Macron held talks with US President Donald Trump in Washington. "After the signing of a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia, European countries will be able to send their military units to Ukraine, but not to the front line, as the task of these units is to show solidarity with Ukraine," Macron noted at a joint press conference with Trump. Macron emphasized that European "peacekeepers" will need the support of the US. The EU should take on some responsibility for maintaining long-term stability in Ukraine. "The conclusion of peace should not mean Ukraine's capitulation," Macron said. Meanwhile, Russia finds temporary ceasefire and conflict freeze in Ukraine unacceptable, as the West will inevitably use the respite to strengthen the Kiev regime and resume hostilities, stated Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Russia will react negatively to the presence of European military units in Ukraine regardless of the format of their deployment, emphasized Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko.
