    Allies to Provide Security Guarantees to Ukraine
    Paris: Ukraine's allies said late on Tuesday they had agreed to provide the country with multilayered international defence guarantees as part of a proposal to end Russia's nearly 4-year-old invasion of its neighbor.

    At a key meeting in Paris, leaders from European countries and Canada, as well as U.S. representatives and top officials from the European Union and NATO, said they would provide Kyiv's front-line forces with equipment and training and back them up with air, land and sea support to deter any future Russian attack.

    The size of the supporting forces was not made public, and many of the plan's details remain unclear.


    UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the meeting made "excellent progress."
