Macron withdrew/ We have no plans to send troops to Ukraine.
According to Tass, French President Emmanuel Macron says that Paris has no plans to send ground forces to Ukraine shortly.
Responding to international reactions to his statements at last week’s conference in Paris, Macron said: I only answered one question about the deployment of troops and said that no option can be ruled out.
He added: My words do not mean that we have plans to send troops from France to Ukraine shortly. Rather, I meant that we open a discussion and discuss any assistance that can be given to Ukraine and primarily to the territory of Ukraine.
According to Macron, the participants of last week’s summit focused on five areas of cooperation, including cyber security, joint production of military equipment for Ukraine, security assistance to countries vulnerable to the war in Ukraine, especially Moldova, support for Ukraine on the common border with Belarus, and cooperation in demining operations. There have been.
Macron added: In addition, we were always clear about our red lines; “We are not at war with the Russian people and reject the logic of escalation.”
After the conference on February 26, the French president said that the participants had discussed sending ground forces to Ukraine. Although no consensus was reached, according to him, the doors are open for such a scenario in the future.
