World leaders and top military officials are converging on the French capital Tuesday under growing doubt that a Western-backed peace plan for Ukraine can move beyond political symbolism and impose real costs on Moscow – or whether it risks becoming yet another diplomatic exercise overtaken by events on the battlefield.
The meeting, convened under the banner of the “Coalition of the Willing,” comes as Russian missiles continue to strike Ukrainian cities and as analysts warn that any agreement lacking enforcement mechanisms is unlikely to deter the Kremlin.
Ukrainian officials say the framework under discussion is “90 percent” complete. But that final 10% – security guarantees, US buy-in and clear penalties for Russian violations – may ultimately determine whether the plan survives contact with reality.
“This week, we will be working with our European and American partners to ensure that Ukraine has the assistance it needs,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said Monday.https://www.kyivpost.com/post/67472
