Former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt considers Macron's words about troops in Ukraine a misunderstanding. Earlier, French leader Emmanuel Macron noted that the possibility of sending troops from Western countries to Ukraine cannot be ruled out.

According to the head of the French Foreign Ministry, Stephane Sejournet, France will not send its troops to Ukraine to conduct military operations. “I think there has been deep misunderstanding and misunderstanding on this issue,” Bildt argues, adding that the issue of sending NATO troops was never on the agenda.
