Stéphane Sejournet explained that some operations, including demining, require “the presence of several personnel.”
Ukraine has not asked to send in Western troops, but nothing can be ruled out in the coming months. This is what French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejournet said, Politico reports.
The French official met with his Baltic and Ukrainian counterparts during his visit to Lithuania.
“It is not Russia that should tell us how we should help Ukraine in the coming months or years. It is not Russia that should organize how we deploy our actions, or establish red lines. We must decide this to ourselves,” the official emphasized.
He explained his country’s position using the example of the mine clearance operation. In particular, this may mean having some personnel, but not for combat purposes.
“Ukraine is not asking us to send troops. Now Ukraine is asking us to send ammunition.
As you know, French President Emmanuel Macron removed the “red line” of support for Ukraine. The Kremlin immediately responded that such statements “do not meet French interests.”
