Regarding post-crisis security guarantees to Ukraine, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said that "the details will need to be decided but the commitment is clear".

The White House distributed a questionnaire to European capitals, inquiring about their willingness to provide a security guarantee to Ukraine and participate in a peacekeeping mission, Reuters reported, but leaders at the Paris meeting were unable to reach an agreement.

At the end of meeting, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said, "I'm prepared to consider committing British forces on the ground, alongside others, if there's a lasting peace agreement."

French President Emmanuel Macron, who put forward the idea, also supported sending troops.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who is likely to step down after next week's federal election, has rejected sending peacekeepers to Ukraine without US involvement.

He said it is "highly inappropriate" to discuss sending peacekeeping troops before a peace plan is decided upon.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that Denmark was "open-minded" on the peacekeeping idea, but added that "a lot of questions" needed to be answered.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said before his departure to Paris on Monday that Poland had "no plans to deploy Polish soldiers to Ukraine".

Other European leaders attending the meeting in Paris included Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Monday during a visit to Kazakhstan that he welcomed the resumption of top-level US-Russia talks.
