Paris Ukraine Security Guarantees 2026: 'Concrete Results' Emerge from 35-Nation Summit
The Paris Ukraine security guarantees 2026 summit has reached 'concrete results.' Learn how 35 nations, including the US, UK, and France, are negotiating peace.
The price of peace is being weighed in Paris. On January 7, 2026, Kyrylo Budanov, the chief of staff to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, announced that talks with Western allies have yielded "concrete results" regarding post-conflict security and ending the nearly four-year war. The summit, hosted in Paris, represents the largest-ever gathering of the "coalition of the willing," involving 35 countries pledged to support Kyiv.
The Roadmap for Paris Ukraine Security Guarantees 2026
Negotiations have intensified with the presence of US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The most contentious points remain Russia's demand for four eastern regions and the status of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. While Zelenskyy insists that "peace must be dignified," the coalition is exploring a mechanism where the UK and France would deploy troops to monitor any potential ceasefire.
Ukraine does not shy away from the most difficult issues and will never be an obstacle to peace.
