French President Emmanuel Macron has stated that if peace agreements are reached, the participants will take on commitments, demonstrate solidarity and deterrence capabilities, and in the event of a violation of the agreements, Russia will face a response from all the countries involved in reaching the deal.

Quote from Macron: “I have held talks with all our allies and several European and non-European countries are ready to take part in these efforts.
Some of them continue to assist the Ukrainian army, support its capabilities and be there for the long term in terms of troop numbers or equipment.”
“And the president [of the US, Donald Trump] has said ‘yes’ in very strong terms and even told us that in the discussions held with Russia, this was acceptable in their bilateral exchanges.”
“This means that there is an agreement, for which we are guarantors, and that if Russia violates it, it will de facto enter into conflict with all those who have committed to the peace process. And this is a change. This has not happened in recent years. This is not what we did in 2014. So, this is a real breakthrough.”
