Sounds like "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today" or Jerry Lundegaard telling his father in law in 'Fargo' "Yah, but... it's... I... just... I guarantee all your money back with interest when the deal starts paying. You have my word."

You can forget about any peace agreement then. Russia has stated more that once that no European troops in Ukraine would be acceptable to them.

“The leaders of the United Kingdom and France signed a declaration of intent on Tuesday to deploy “coalition of the willing” troops to Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire, providing security guarantees for Kyiv.”

How cute.

This guarantees there will be no cease fire.

Maybe that was the intent

Putin has never indicated interest in a “ ceasefire” ( frozen conflict giving the europeans a chance to rebuild for another offensive )

Whats the advantage for the winning army to accept a ceasefire before his goals are completed. As in total occupation of Donetsk.

They’ll be too busy to defend Greenland from Russia and China.

UK and France Sign Declaration of Intent to Deploy Troops to Ukraine in Event of Ceasefire

Well, you can't ever trust Limey Buggers or Frog Surrender Monkeys, however, this does insure that The War Drones On!

This ensures the war to continue.
We should withdraw from NATO.
sell weapons to both sides.

That guarantees there won't be a ceasefire.

Ukraine will cease to exist before Russia allows NATO troops in what is left of it.

This declaration apparently includes the US air power “backstop” in Poland that Trump was promoting in the “28 point plan”.

Additionally, just how would the US be monitoring the ceasefire?

Given recent events, if I was Putin, I’d be a lot more worried about the US forces than 30k Euro troops in Ukraine. That applies especially post Trump.
