European capitals are drawing up plans for a non‑NATO, coalition‑of‑the‑willing ground presence inside Ukraine—after a ceasefire or peace framework—to deter renewed attack and secure critical infrastructure. Reporting and official readouts describe a UK‑ and France‑led “reassurance force” concept: observe a ceasefire line, guard power, water, rail and ports, run EOD/mine‑clearance, and secure reconstruction sites. The design centers on clear rules of engagement, host‑nation status agreements, and a Kyiv forward HQ with logistics through Rzeszów. Washington’s role stays off the ground but vital in the air: ISR, AWACS, tankers, and air‑defense integration. Think tanks and diplomats put a first‑phase footprint near 20–30k, modular and rotational. Big questions remain—legal mandates, air‑defense layers, and how to counter drones, sabotage, and disinformation—yet the signal is unmistakable: Europe intends to shoulder risk to prevent a future collapse of deterrence. If executed, this shifts Europe from arms supplier to visible guarantor—and tests Moscow’s calculus without firing a shot.
