Western allies moved to formalize long-term security guarantees for Ukraine on January 6, as Kyiv and its partners laid the groundwork for an international force intended to help secure the country after hostilities end.

Western allies are preparing to move beyond political assurances and toward binding security guarantees for Ukraine, including the possible deployment of foreign troops and explicit US support if Russia attacks again, according to draft agreements set to be discussed at a high-level summit in Paris.
