European leaders including Türkiye and Canada are arriving in Paris, France on Thursday for another "coalition of the willing" meeting.
They are expected to hash out concrete commitments with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy regarding security guarantees for his country in the event of a ceasefire.
The countries have talked for months at various levels to define their military contributions to Ukraine to help deter Russia from attacking it again once there is a final truce.
Talks continued to stall however as cuntries in the coalition insist on a U.S. security guarantee which President Donald Trump appears hesitant to commit to.
Speaking to reporters at the institute for strategic studies defence summit , NATO Secretary General, Mark Rutte said earlier that Ukraine's security guarantees have nothing to do with Russia.
He reiterated the country's sovereignty and right to hae troops on its soil while asking people to stop making Putin "too powerful"
“Ukraine is a sovereign country. If Ukraine wants to have security guarantee forces in Ukraine to support peace, it's up to them. Nobody else can decide about that. And I think we really have to stop making Putin too powerful.” he said.
Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Ukraine should end the war through "common sense" means or he would end it by force.
He said this while speaking to journalists at a press conference in China after his working visit to the Asian country.
