**European Leaders Agree to Send Troops to Ukraine**
Leaders from 31 countries met in Paris on March 27 to discuss a “reassurance force” for Ukraine. The meeting was co-led by French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
The purpose of the reassurance force is to protect Ukraine if Russia does not respect a ceasefire agreement. Macron said that even though not all countries agree, it’s possible to move forward with the initiative.
**Ukraine Receives Military Aid**
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other leaders discussed steps toward peace at the summit. The meeting also focused on sending military aid to Ukraine.
The UK and France will send delegations to Ukraine to discuss the reassurance force and the future of Ukraine’s army. Macron said that Ukraine must be ready for a new Russian offensive, especially in the Sumy and Kharkiv areas.
**More Weapons Sent from North Korea**
North Korea has supplied Russia with military equipment, including short-range ballistic missiles and howitzers. This equipment was reportedly intended for use against Ukraine.
**Other Developments**
A survey found that only 28% of respondents do not trust Zelensky, resulting in a positive balance of +41%. Russia launched 86 drones overnight, including attack drones and a ballistic missile.
Rescue efforts are underway to find four missing Ukrainian soldiers. The fate of these soldiers is still unknown.
