EU needs to ‘move from concepts to a plan’ on security guarantees for Ukraine — Macron
French President Emmanuel Macron called on the military leadership of EU member states to begin drafting a concrete plan for “reliable security guarantees” for Ukraine in the event of Russia accepting a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal.
According to Le Monde on March 11, citing the Elysee Palace, Macron stated the need “to move from a concept to a plan” that would underpin a robust, lasting peace in Ukraine.
Officials said the discussions underscored that security guarantees “should not be separate from NATO and its capabilities.”
Earlier on March 11, during a U.S.-Ukraine meeting in Saudi Arabia, Ukraine agreed to an “interim” 30-days ceasefire, provided Washington convinces Moscow to follow suit. The potential ceasefire makes the need for a European plan to enforce it ever more urgent.
At the same meeting, the U.S. delegation announced that Washington would “immediately” resume military aid shipments and intelligence sharing with Kyiv.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
