Technical work on the security guarantees for Ukraine is advanced enough that allies now only need confirmation of US support, the Elysée said on Tuesday ahead of a meeting of the so-called 'Coalition of the Willing' later this week.

According to the French presidential palace, most of the technical work which started following the first meeting of the coalition in mid-February to ensure Ukraine can deter further aggression attempts following a ceasefire, is now almost completed.

This includes work on how to consolidate the Ukrainian armed forces over the long term so that it remains in a position of strength, as well as the deployment of an international reassurance force in no-contact areas across the country.
