Egocentric about detached from the problems of his own nation Emmanuel Maron shocked the planet erstwhile after the Monday summit of 21 NATO states – he considered sending western land troops to support Ukraine "was discussed as 1 of the options".
‘Nothing should be excluded. We will do everything so that Russia cannot win this war," he added. Defeating Russia is essential for safety and stableness in Europe," he concluded at the conclusion of an global conference of support for Ukraine, attended by 21 heads of state in Paris. He said that Germany, Sweden and the Visegrad Group. The French president did not want to clarify France's position, explaining that it assumes "strategic ambiguity". "I absolutely did not say that France is not in favour of this," he added. I will not remove the ambiguity of today's debate by listing names," he added. Attending the gathering Andrzej Duda He said enigmatically that the discussion was hot, but no decisions were made. However, he did not uncover his position alone.
With that war tone, the words echoed Donald TuskWho, with his mouth jammed and a threatening face, spoke of a tragic situation and that we must prepare for something very crucial and groundbreaking. It was scary. On Tuesday, however, there began to be completely different signals, most likely influenced by violent public protests (comments on social media) and the horror of many politicians. Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala He said Prague is not considering sending troops to Ukraine. "No 1 has to worry about that," he said. Donald Tusk said he was "ready to participate in any initiative that could end the war in Ukraine", while excluding sending troops there. On the Hungarian side, the Minister of abroad Affairs rejected the hypothesis mentioned by the host of the Elysée Palace. ‘Our position is as hard as a rock: we do not want to send weapons or troops to Ukraine” said the Minister for abroad Affairs Peter Szijjarto. Prime Minister of Slovakia Robert Fico He said that specified a sending of troops would lead to a “great escalation”. He described the Paris conference as a “war meeting”. But Sweden besides received reassuring information. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said on public tv SVT that sending troops to Ukraine "He's not on the agenda at all right now.‘. "French tradition [military engagement] is not Swedish tradition", he added. Stockholm has not seen the war since the conflict with Norway in 1814. Finally, the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz He made himself equally clear: there will be no sending "soldiers" from Europe or NATO to Ukraine.
The United States hasn't officially responded yet. In France, too, the reactions were very critical, she officially said Marine Le Pen, considering that Macron has no right to make specified declarations on behalf of the French people who do not want to fight Russia. However, Macron himself goes into denial. “Many people who say, “No, not today”, are the same people who 2 years ago said, “Not for tanks, not for airplanes, not for long-range rockets”, Macro said. “Let us be humble adequate to note that we were frequently six to 12 months late. That was the nonsubjective of today's discussion: anything is possible if it is useful to accomplish our goal."
In Ukraine, this debate is warmly welcomed. "This shows the absolute awareness of the risks that militaristic and aggressive Russia poses for Europe," said president Zelenski's advisor on Tuesday. For his part, the Kremlin warns that sending troops to Ukraine would not be in the interest of the West.
