Meeting in Paris is a flop: no agreement on sending troops for peace-keeping in Ukraine

Both Le Monde and The Financial Times this evening are reporting that the meeting earlier in the day of the heads of government of the most interested EU member states, the secretary general of NATO, the president of the European Council, the head of the European Commission and her Commissioner for External Relations to discuss their response to Trump’s request to list the number of units and equipment they are ready to deploy in Ukraine as peacekeepers and enforce a peace settlement with Russia ended only in discord.
