French President Emmanuel Macron believes it is possible to send Western troops to Ukraine. Chancellor Olaf Scholz vehemently rejects this, but a warning still comes from Moscow.

The Kremlin itself has sharply criticized ideas about the deployment of Western ground troops in Ukraine. Poland and the Czech Republic are also skeptical about the move, said Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk after a meeting with his Czech colleague Petr Fiala in Prague. He said today we must concentrate on providing maximum support to Ukraine in its own military efforts against the Russian invasion.
