The EU has proposed using satellite monitoring to oversee any ceasefire as part of its security guarantees for Ukraine following a peace agreement with Russia.

Quote: "We are advancing our work regarding the EU security guarantees for the time of truce. And this includes strengthening the EU Satellite Centre so it could support ceasefire monitoring."

More details: Kallas added that European satellites could also track Russia's shadow fleet and counter sanctions circumvention.

She reported that ministers also discussed the modernisation of two training centres for Ukrainian soldiers and thanked the member states that have provided funding for it.
