"If the Russian Federation breaks the front line": Macron named the conditions for sending foreign troops to Ukraine

French President acknowledged that in 2022, Europe was too indecisive, because it imposed a restriction on the supply of various types of weapons to Ukraine, which only played Putin's hand. If the Russian army breaks through the front line, and Ukraine will apply for the introduction of foreign troops into its territory, then European leaders will have to think about sending their soldiers to Ukraine. This was stated in the interview with The Economist President of France Emmanuel Macron.

"I do not exclude anything because we are dealing with someone who does not rule out . . . Our goal is that Russia can never win in Ukraine," Macron said. He acknowledged that Europe was too indecisive when she outlined "red lines", which would not be ready to cross. According to the French president, it played only on the hand of the Russian Federation, because it has no such lines.

"At the NATO summit in the summer of 2022, we all excluded the supply of tanks, missiles of a large radius of action, aircraft. Now we are all in the process of supply, so it would be wrong to exclude the rest," Macron said.

When asked by a journalist, whether Macron considers that other leaders will have to agree with the need to send a ground forces to Ukraine, President of France stated that this is a basic condition for European security and military authority "If the Russians broke through the front line if there was a request from Ukraine - what was not a request from Ukraine today - We would legally ask ourselves this question.

We will remind, on February 27 French President Emmanuel Macron at the summit of Europe stated that in some circumstances it is possible to send European military units to Ukraine. Most citizens of Ukraine, according to sociological surveys, support this initiative. On April 25, Emmanuel Macron stated that Russia's defeat in the war against Ukraine was critically important for Europe.
