French President Emmanuel Macron said that 26 nations have agreed to deploy troops as a “reassurance force” in Ukraine once the war ends. Speaking in Paris after the meeting of the so-called “Coalition of the Willing,” macron said the force does not have the will or the objective of waging some war against Russia. Zelensky, meanwhile, said a meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin was "a matter of necessity." He also accused Moscow of doing "everything to defer it."
