The source said that negotiations are underway between London and Paris on defense cooperation with a focus on Ukraine.
Britain and France are not ruling out sending a foreign military contingent to Ukraine because of the risk of Donald Trump winning the US presidential election. This was reported by the French newspaper Le Monde, citing a source.
Currently, discussions about sending Western troops and private defense to Ukraine have intensified again. Details of the debate on this issue are classified, but they intensified after Trump won the election.
The media remember that the French President Emmanuel Macron first took this initiative in February. At the same time, it caused strong opposition from several European countries, including Germany. However, this situation was not “buried” – it was “revived in recent weeks during the visit of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to France during the celebration of November 11.”
A military source said that defense cooperation talks are underway between London and Paris to create a solid core of allies in Europe, with a focus on the security of Ukraine and Europe.
The publication recalls that last week, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrault, in an interview with the BBC, called on Western partners “not to establish or declare red lines” in their support for Ukraine.
He also said, answering a question about the possibility of sending Western troops to the country, that France “is not ruling out any option.”
Previously, Macron said that US President Joe Biden made the right decision by allowing Ukraine to use American weapons to launch attacks on Russian territory.
