Army Chiefs of Staff from countries that support Ukraine will meet in Paris later on Tuesday to discuss deployment of troops to secure a possible peace agreement between Kiev and Moscow.
According to local report, French President, Emmanuel Macron is to organise the meeting, with Germany, United Kingdom and Poland expected to attend.
France and the UK had been pushing the idea of a European peacekeeping force for weeks, though Ukraine and Russia are yet to discuss a ceasefire.
French Foreign Minister, Jean-Noël Barrot told reporters that the army talks on Tuesday are about determining the forces that would have to be deployed to secure peace.
French Defence Minister Sébastien Lecornu has also floated the idea of arms depots in Europe, which could be used to supply Ukraine after a ceasefire in the event of a renewed crisis.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, defence ministers from the five major NATO states will meet in Paris to discuss further support for Ukraine.
