As many as ten European countries, including the United Kingdom, France, and possibly Finland, have expressed their willingness to send troops to Ukraine as part of a security guarantee plan contingent on the signing of a peace agreement with Russia. According to Bloomberg on Wednesday, the proposal includes the initial deployment of a multinational "stabilization" force that would operate far from the front lines to provide logistical support, training, and reinforcement to Ukrainian troops. A second phase envisions a more active US role, with cooperation in intelligence, border surveillance, arms supply and possibly air defense. The agency does not specify which other countries, in addition to those mentioned, could commit to sending troops.
