Nato could play a key role assisting a proposed European military mission to guarantee a peace deal in Ukraine under plans being sketched out by a coalition of Kyiv’s western allies.

Nato’s command and control structures would be used in a deployment of a so-called reassurance force in Ukraine, under one proposal being debated in talks led by France and the UK, five officials briefed on the plans told the Financial Times. Under the proposal, the force would also tap the alliance’s shared intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities.

The proposal was one of multiple options under discussion and could be altered before any final agreement, the officials said.
