A group of European leaders at a meeting in Paris on Monday expressed their readiness to give Ukraine security guarantees.

The leaders, however, warned that it would be dangerous to conclude a ceasefire without a peace agreement at the same time.

“We are ready to provide security guarantees, with modalities to be examined with each party, depending on the level of American support,” a European Union official said.


Recall that the meeting was called by French President Emmanuel Macron after UD President Donald Trump arranged bilateral peace talks with Russia, excluding European allies and Ukraine from negotiations that are due to begin in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.

At the meeting were Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.

Other were Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, NATO boss Mark Rutte, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Antonio Costa.

The EU official said they agreed with President Trump on a peace through strength approach.

“We believe it is dangerous to conclude a ceasefire without a peace agreement at the same time,” the official added.
