'Need reassurance force to consolidate Ukraine army…': Macron after Geneva talks on Trump peace plan

French President Emmanuel Macron outlines the next steps in backing Ukraine, announcing plans to use frozen Russian assets to secure long-term financing while keeping pressure on Moscow. He explains that France, the UK, Turkey, and for the first time the United States will lead work on a “reassurance force” to bolster a strong Ukrainian army and deter future aggression once peace is reached. Macron insists any settlement must deliver a serious, lawful, and lasting peace for Ukraine and the European continent.
