French President Emmanuel Macron is reportedly spearheading efforts to establish a European peacekeeping force of up to 100,000 troops for deployment in Ukraine, should a ceasefire agreement be brokered by incoming US President Donald Trump. This initiative stems from Trump's assurance to Macron and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that American troops will not be involved in guaranteeing Ukraine's security after any peace deal with Russia. Macron aims to rally European partners to commit soldiers to the region, regardless of Ukraine's NATO membership. Analysts suggest this deployment could strain European land forces but be feasible by redistributing troops from other areas.
