Macron: Interim ground operations of Western military forces in Ukraine are likely

French President Emmanuel Macron, a few days after meeting with the leaders of Germany and Poland, once again refused to deny the temporary ground operations of the Western military in Ukraine and said that ground operations are possible. The West is necessary in Ukraine at a particular point in time.

According to the Sunday morning report of AFP, last month Macron refused to deny the deployment of military forces of Western countries in Ukraine, which caused a strong reaction from Berlin and other European partners of Paris.

Nevertheless, the French president has not wavered from his position and stated once again that France has enough power to do this, stating: “Maybe at some point we will have to confront Russian forces in a ground operation.”

According to AFP, Macron met his German and Polish counterparts in Berlin on Friday in a show of solidarity with Kiev, and after this meeting, he told reporters: the three countries of France, Germany and Poland (known as the Weimar Triangle) in They are united in their goal to never allow Russia to win the war in Ukraine and to support the people of this country until the end.

The French President previously said in an interview with the newspaper “Prova” published in the Czech Republic that “I have always been clear about my red lines; We are not fighting against the Russian people and we reject the logic of escalation.” Macron explained about the statements he made after hosting the European Summit in Paris regarding the deployment of troops to Ukraine: Regarding the deployment of troops to Ukraine, as I said earlier. There is nothing ruled out, but France does not intend to send troops to this country in the near future.

On February 21, 2022 (March 2, 1400), Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics in the Donbas region, criticizing the West’s inattention to Moscow’s security concerns. Three days later, on Thursday, February 24 ( March 5, 1400) also started a military operation that he called “special operations” against Ukraine, and thus the tense relations between Moscow and Kiev turned into a military confrontation.

In response to this Russian action, America and Western countries have imposed extensive sanctions against Moscow and sent billions of dollars in arms and military equipment to Kiev.
