Background:

  • Earlier, Rzeczpospolita reported that French President Emmanuel Macron is considering a potential European peacekeeping mission in Ukraine as a safeguard against renewed Russian aggression.

    He plans to consult with Poland, which he views as a key ally for such an initiative.

  • According to the report, discussions on this potential mission will be the central topic during Macron's visit to Warsaw on 12 December.
  • It is also likely that Macron broached the idea with US President-elect Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy during their meeting last Saturday in Paris.
  • It is possible that the peacekeeping mission was also discussed during Macron's meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer  on 12 November and, later in the month, during a meeting of representatives of Northern European countries, Baltic States, and Poland.
  • Other Polish media outlets have also reported on Macron's upcoming visit to Poland, noting that it was linked to talks with Zelenskyy and Trump last weekend.
