Left-wing politician Gregor Gysi sharply criticizes French President Emmanuel Macron's statements about the possible deployment of Western ground troops to Ukraine. Macron caused a stir by saying that he would not rule out sending Western soldiers to Ukraine the night before.
Green defense expert Agnieszka Brugger criticized that Macron's words distracted from other important things that had been jointly decided to support Ukraine. CDU managing director of the Union parliamentary group, Thorsten Frei, also reacted negatively to Macron's statement.
