European, US allies taken aback by Macron’s comments on troops in Ukraine

Following a conference of European leaders on Monday, Macron asserted that “everything that is necessary” must be undertaken to ensure Russia’s defeat, including the deployment of troops.

In response, the Kremlin cautioned about the “inevitability” of a confrontation between NATO and Russia if alliance troops were sent into the conflict, breaking a significant taboo that the West had been hesitant to challenge.

Macron hosted the conference just over two years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with the aim of garnering increased support for Kyiv, which is confronting escalating battlefield challenges and depleting ammunition stocks.

Presenting a bleak portrayal of Russia under President Vladimir Putin, Macron argued that there had been a recent “change of posture,” noting a hardening of Russia’s stance both domestically and in Ukraine.

While there was “no consensus” on the sending of Western ground troops to Ukraine, “nothing should be ruled out. We will do whatever it takes to ensure that Russia cannot win this war,” Macron added, France 24 reported.
