Ukraine's key allies meet Thursday to continue hashing out the details of any peacekeeping mission sent to Ukraine in the event of a peace deal with Russia.
They'll be led by France's Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu and his British counterpart John Healey, who will meet with their fellow defense ministers from the so-called coalition of the willing that includes many European countries, Canada and Australia but not the United States at NATO HQ in Brussels.
Chiefs of defense staff of both the United Kingdom and France were in Ukraine last week and briefed their counterparts earlier this week, the French Armed Forces Ministry said.
The meetings are helping flesh out what Kyiv would like from a peacekeeping mission — something it sees as critical to prevent Russia from attacking again, especially as the U.S. and other countries have blocked its hopes of being invited to join NATO.
