French President Emmanuel Macron has suggested the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine in a bid to prevent a possible Russian victory. This statement underscores the growing tensions surrounding the Russia-Ukraine conflict and indicates increasing engagement from Western nations.
This proposal would represent a significant escalation in foreign intervention in the conflict, which has primarily been characterized by economic sanctions against Russia and support for Ukraine in the form of military aid. Macron did not provide details as to when such military assistance could be deployed or what specific countries would contribute troops.
“The possibility is open and it will be part of our discussions”, said Macron during a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Paris.
He added on, “We will do anything we can to prevent Russia from winning, it’s in Europe’s interest.” Please note that this is a dynamic situation and further updates will likely follow.
