European leaders rule out sending troops to Ukraine after Macron comments • FRANCE 24 English

The French President may not have ruled out sending troops to Ukraine one day but that doesn’t appear to be the case for a number of his European counterparts German Chancellor Olaf Schultz agreed that allies would boost efforts to supply Munitions to keev but sending troops was a red

Line what was agreed from the outset among ourselves and with each other also applies to the Future namely that there will be no ground troops no soldiers on Ukraine soil sent there by European countries or NATO States in a joint press conference the Czech and polish premiers were also

Categorical I will not speak for both of us but I think I can say for both of us that we’re not considering sending any troops to Ukraine the NATO Chief also said the alliance has no plans to put troops on the ground in Ukraine now le to Sweden

Which is set to join NATO a spokesperson for the British prime minister said the UK wasn’t planning a large scale deployment beyond the small number of personnel already in Ukraine supporting their Armed Forces for Ukraine though just the fact that the possibility of direct military intervention was

Discussed at the meeting of leaders on Monday was good news the Kremlin on the other hand warned that if European members of NATO sent in troops a conflict between the alliance and Russia would become inevitable it seems to me that those who not only Express thoughts but even allow

Them in their heads should use these heads for more rational thoughts safer for Europe Emanuel mcon said on Monday that although no consensus existed on sending troops European countries had to do whatever it takes to ensure that Russia did not win the war

Germany, Britain and other European countries said on Tuesday they had no plans to send ground troops to Ukraine, after French President Emmanuel Macron suggested that Western allies should exclude no options in seeking to avert a Russian victory.

  2. A public service announcement to our little friends in Moscow that the Russian Federation does not dictate European, NATO, or U.S. foreign policy.

  3. Both of world wars have not started over night ; at the beginning of this war the countries said they will not send missiles and tanks and now they are sending all those ;; the idea of having boots on the ground will also become relevant soon.

  6. The little Macaroni boy trying to beat his frail bird chest for attention. Hilarious! He would most likely end up like Mussolini if he ever tried to send France's army to the Ukraine.

  7. it's needed and no surprise at the rest of europe's responses.
    ukraine has done enough of the dirty work, while the no balls nato alliance dithers, and flaps its gums.
    they won't do anything until it's too late, as usual

  11. ofc if u are a guest police philantropy would atck u in your house , french werent very with police wich is good. ofc defence of liberty.

  12. May be France forgot Nazi Germany action in France. France is a paper tiger. Russia is not Iraq or Syria, Russia fighting indirectly against 41 countries. Macron stop to watch your day dream.

  13. True allies fight alongside each other. I pray Ukraine comes to the realization that they are mere proxies of the West.

  14. But still butthurt Emanuel Marcon and France is still mad and angry and are looking for revenge against Russia after the Russians backed coup in Mali, Burkina Faso, Central African republic,Sudan etc which resulted in France losing all their influence and power in all the aforementioned countries and Africa in general …..

  15. Macron trying to divert attention from the French farmers. Also badly damaged after Niger and having consequent problems accessing uranium. Macron tried to organize an invasion of Niger with US. It failed.
    Macron is desperate.

  18. Send him and Scholz to the front lines in the trenches. Let them show by their example how to fight. I'm sure they won't go because they don't want to die. But they want to send others to their deaths.

  20. Sholtz's pampers were full and started dripping.

    Macron is just a joker. He might say anything.

    Nobody takes his words seriously. Putin was so right when he said the West is weak.

  22. NOTE: Macron's remark wasn't at the agenda of the meeting just held, he was responding to a journalist's question. All European nations have for sure discussed the future possibilities for sending troops, and as we can't know the future for sure no-one can for sure rule out the possibility, only the probability. People are taking Macron's words out of context when blowing it up like this.

  23. The most courageous thing Macron can do at this juncture is to whisper a word in Zelenska's ear and tell him its time for him to negotiate PEACE, and the sooner the BETTER for EVERYONE

  24. Ukraine needs more soldiers for the frontline. There are about 100,000 armed personnel engaged in the western Ukraine and on the border region with Belarus. NATO soldiers would take their positions and make these Ukrainians ready for the eastern Ukraine front. Makron's statement was to test the pulse of the Russian Federation at this moment. But soon this plan of deployment of NATO soldiers would be materialized. The French and "Baltic Tigers" along with Czech Republic would be the first to participate in this adventure.

  26. Happy to see that some European leaders such as the Spanish one and the German one have some common sense and are not completely irresponsible like Macron is.

  27. The french after Napoleon have been a military joke after WW1 they exploited and pillaged Germany but after 20 years Paris was under German control . The Germans right now have Zelenskyy 2.0 as there leader in Scholz but the Germans know how to fight and even they don’t want no smoke with Russia

  28. I should think so as well declaring war on Russia is suicide If Russia wins in the ukraine it doesn't mean russia are going to attack Nato for ffs the idea and all this talk about is stupid the french president must be on statin's. Russia know it would be suicide to attack Nato and like wise for Nato it didn't happen before when Russia was much much stronger and it isn't going to happen today

  29. Macron Germany sent helmets. Germany:France sent missles with the U.K and cries like a baby in Singapore knowing Russia found out that French and British soldiers were in Ukraine and how weak they are with not sending anything but missles. Germany the U.K needs to stop depending on Germany 🇩🇪 for the total of the EU defense spending. The U.K and France nothing for decades after the U.K left occupation of Germany. A complete joke to Putin. France spends barely over 1 percent and the U.K was worst before the war. A couple of years to get a percent budget for the U.K. France and the U.K hang helmets and self defense vest on Ukraine. All bullets coming from Germany. All other weapons outside the EU. France and the U.K refused to produce weapons. Barely send anyone except German soldiers. Not Germany 's fault the U.K and French missles are rubbish. No spending on weapons research and no increase of nukes since world War 2. Putin makes the U.K, Italy, France, Canada, Spain, and America a nuclear joke because Putin built nuclear weapons probably for over 10 years. Germany can spend on nukes since nobody can defend against Russia 's nukes. Germany is a coward for not wanting soldiers on the ground. How many soldiers did Europe send Putin doesn't seem to care? France not spending 2 percent in front of Russia and not telling the U.K too. France is a total coward relying on better paid German soldiers with more weapons under Scoltz than French soldiers have under Macron 's failed leadership. He needs to send Russia cupcakes 🧁 for a peace deal not soldiers France doesn't pay to protect Europe. France 's nuclear capability is a joke for a country that spends on it. Tell Russia that you want to surrender in Singapore Macron if he asks your weak military to surrender there.
