European leaders to try to Hammer Out Ukraine Support Plans Over 30 officials gathered in Paris. Who is willing to do what in this coalition is still unclear. The biggest question mark is the idea of a potential “reassurance force” of European troops stationed in Ukraine once the conflict ends. President Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, called the idea of stationing a European force in Ukraine “simplistic” and “a posture and a pose”. Mr. Trump reiterated on Wednesday that any European force would not be on the front lines of the conflict. Instead, European troops would be based farther from the front line, Mr. Macron said. A senior official in the French presidency briefed reporters on the condition of anonymity. The Trump administration’s sudden policy shifts and Europe’s urgent calls to spend more on defense are a vindication for Mr. Macron. But the official acknowledged that not all countries were willing or able to put troops on the ground.
