00:00
This was the third summit of its kind, bringing together what's been called the coalition
00:05
of the willing.
00:06
European leaders, gathered in Paris, reaffirmed their support for Ukraine.
00:11
But beyond the show of solidarity, the continent is still divided on security guarantees.
00:16
French President Emmanuel Macron said a Franco-British idea for boots on the ground had been backed
00:22
by some, but not all, countries.
00:26
Today, these reassurance forces are a French-British proposition.
00:32
It's been agreed by Great Britain and France, it's desired by Ukraine, and it's also been
00:37
agreed by several member states that have signalled their desire to join in.
00:41
There's no unanimity on it today, that is known, but we don't need unanimity to do this.
00:47
Italy has rejected sending any force, saying troops would need to be part of a UN mission.
00:53
British Prime Minister Kyr Starmer dismissed the divisions, instead insisting that Europe
00:57
was finally getting its act together.
01:01
This is Europe mobilising together behind the peace process, on a scale that we haven't
01:08
seen for decades.
01:09
I don't want to put a hard deadline on this, but we need to see this developing in days
01:15
and weeks, not months and months.
01:19
Ukraine's President Zelensky was buoyant too, but speaking to journalists, he admitted
01:23
many questions remained over a possible European force.
01:27
And he urged the US to do more to stand up to Russia.
01:36
We want the United States to be stronger.
01:38
I agree with Emmanuel Macron.
01:40
We all need this.
01:42
It's not just our wish, it's a necessity.
01:45
We need the United States to be stronger in dealing with Russia.
01:52
There was, however, widespread agreement at the summit to avoid easing sanctions on Russia
01:57
until a ceasefire deal is reached.
