Ukraine has agreed with Western partners on a multi-tiered ceasefire enforcement plan, the Financial Times reported Tuesday. The plan calls for a rapid and coordinated response to any Russian violations. Envoys from Kyiv, Moscow, and Washington will meet in Abu Dhabi this week for talks.
The plan was discussed in December and January by Ukrainian, European, and American officials. It aims to stop Russian breaches of a ceasefire quickly. Any violation would trigger an initial diplomatic warning and Ukrainian military action if needed.

If Russia continues hostilities, the plan moves to a second phase. This involves forces from a “coalition of the willing,” including EU members, the UK, Norway, Iceland, and Turkey. The coalition would act to enforce the ceasefire and protect Ukraine.
In case of a major or expanded attack, a third phase would be triggered. This would involve a fully coordinated response with US military participation. The action would start 72 hours after the initial breach, according to the report.
