Every word I utter on this topic is measured, thoughtful and balanced,” Emmanuel Macron said on the sidelines of the grand opening of the Olympic village in Sant-Saint-Den, but refused “geopolitical comments”, saying that the Olympic village is not a place for this.
Let us remember that Putin has already responded to the possibility of sending a European contingent to Ukraine by restoring Western threats with nuclear weapons.
The French President does not rule out the possible sending of ground troops to Ukraine to support it in the war with Russia.
Today there is no consensus on sending ground troops, but nothing can be ruled out. “We will do everything in our power to prevent Russia from winning,” said Emmanuel Macron following a meeting of twenty European leaders in Paris on February 26.
After these words, many EU and US representatives said that they would not send their armies to Ukraine.
In France they explained for what purpose they could attract troops to Ukraine.
French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal confirmed the words of French President Emmanuel Macron about sending troops to Ukraine and explained the potential purpose of such actions. He spoke about this in the Senate when asked about the president’s remarks.
Attal noted that the possible introduction of troops will not be sent to participate in hostilities at the front, but for rear support. He explained that Ukraine’s support is very important, because if the country falls, the European Union and France in particular will be in a dangerous position.
Macron’s initiative on the possibility of sending troops from Western countries to Ukraine found support in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The Estonian Prime Minister supported the French President, saying that Western leaders should not rule out the possibility of sending ground troops to Ukraine.
According to Kaja Kallas, Western leaders should discuss all possibilities behind closed doors, in particular what more can be done to help Ukraine.
