France has proposed a one-month truce between Russia and Ukraine, focusing on halting air, sea, and energy infrastructure attacks, while excluding ground combat. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot stated this approach aims to assess Russian President Vladimir Putin's commitment to peace negotiations. President Emmanuel Macron indicated that European ground troops would only be deployed in a subsequent phase. However, UK Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard noted that no agreement has been finalized, with various options still under discussion among European allies.
