French President Emmanuel Macron announced on that 26 countries have promised to send troops or provide military aid to Ukraine after the war ends. This 'reassurance force' aims to guarantee Ukraine's security. The decision came after a meeting of the 'coalition of the willing' in Paris. Leaders from 35 countries attended, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The troops won't be on the front lines but will try to prevent future conflicts. Some countries like Germany haven't committed troops yet. Russia has rejected the idea, with President Putin calling foreign troops 'legitimate targets'. To join this force, countries must get approval from their parliaments. (Updated 5 Sep 2025, 20:25 IST; source: link)
