KIEV, Jan 7 (Bernama-Xinhua) -- Ukraine, France and the United Kingdom on Tuesday signed a Declaration of Intent on the deployment of multinational forces to support Ukraine's defence, reconstruction, and strategic resilience after a peace agreement is achieved, Xinhua reported citing Ukrinform news agency.
The document was signed in Paris by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, French President Emmanuel Macron, and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
The signing followed a meeting of the Coalition of the Willing, which brought together leaders of several European countries, as well as White House special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump's son-in-law.
Following the meeting, Zelensky noted that there is already a detailed understanding of the architecture of security guarantees for Ukraine.
For his part, Starmer said the declaration creates a legal basis for operations of partner countries' troops on Ukrainian territory if a peace agreement is achieved.
