Ukraine has reportedly agreed with partners in Europe and the United States on a detailed enforcement plan tied to any future ceasefire with Russia, according to people familiar with the discussions, as reported by the Financial Times.
The proposal — which could not immediately be verified by Reuters — has been discussed during several meetings between Ukrainian officials and their European and American counterparts in December and January, the report said.
Officials are expected to continue talks this week in Abu Dhabi, where envoys from Kyiv, Moscow, and Washington will meet in hopes of moving toward an end to the conflict.
Under the terms of the proposed plan, if Russia violates a future ceasefire, a coordinated response would be triggered within 24 hours. That response would begin with diplomatic warnings, and, if needed, Ukrainian forces would take steps to stop the violation.
If hostilities were to persist beyond that initial phase, a second level of response would involve a coalition of willing countries — including several European Union nations, the United Kingdom, Norway, Iceland, and Turkey — stepping in to address the continued breach.
The plan further outlines that if an expanded attack continues, a coordinated Western military response, potentially involving the United States, could be launched within 72 hours after the first violation, the report said.
This evolving approach signals a deeper level of commitment from Ukraine’s Western partners to ensure any agreed ceasefire holds, and reflects growing international interest in stabilizing the region through clear steps and consequences for violations.
