Troops from Western countries, in the event of a possible deployment to Ukraine, proposed by French President Emmanuel Macron, will not participate in the conflict. This is what French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejournet said, Reuters reports.
The Foreign Minister said that Paris should consider “new actions in support of Ukraine.”
“They must meet specific needs, I mean, in particular, mine clearance, cyber defense, weapons production locally, on Ukrainian territory,” the minister said.
Sejournet emphasized that some such actions may require the presence of Western military personnel on Ukrainian territory, but without participation in hostilities.
“Nothing can be denied. This is and remains the position of the president today,” the French Foreign Minister emphasized.
