Details: According to the plan, British and French troops, along with the Navy and Air Force, will form the basis of the so-called restraint forces.

The drones and satellites will monitor the front line to determine whether Russia adheres to the ceasefire regime.

The initial Trump readiness check to consider US security guarantees for Ukraine in the coming days when British Prime Minister Kir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron should negotiate with the US President in the White House.
The developed European plan will not require the US to deploy its own troops in Ukraine that the Trump administration has excluded. But it will be aimed at using US military opportunities that are lacking in European forces, sources of publication say.
For example, the United States could accommodate air defense systems in neighboring countries that would cover part of the territory of Ukraine while providing other air defense systems to Europeans, European officials say.
The US Air Forces based outside Ukraine can be ready to be in danger.
The older is expected to discuss this project with Trump on Thursday, European officials have reported, but he is unlikely to ask a specific request for American assistance.
Macron, who will meet Trump on Monday, on the anniversary of a full -scale Russian invasion in 2022, will outline the wider views of the Allies to the war and how Ukraine can assure Ukraine.
Without Trump’s support, the European plan for sending peacekeepers will face difficulties, officials say.
However, the main challenge for Europeans may be Trump’s desire to strengthen ties with Russia and unwillingness to position the US military as a potential opponent of Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Ukraine.
British officials believe that American participation is crucial for curbing Russian attacks, encouraging other European countries to send troops and providing multinational forces with key opportunities that are lacking in the European Armed Forces.
