A coalition of 35 nations led by France and the UK signed the January 2026 Paris Declaration setting five conditions for Ukraine peace talks — ceasefire monitoring, armed forces support, multinational troop deployment, commitments against future aggression, and long-term defense cooperation. While proponents call it the most comprehensive security architecture since 1945, critics argue the conditions hand Russia a de facto veto over negotiations by setting a bar Moscow can simply refuse to meet, prolonging a war that has already produced roughly two million military casualties and displaced nearly ten million Ukrainians.
