Emmanuel Macron's comments on the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine provoked an outcry in Europe on Tuesday. The French president declared that the sending of troops could not "be excluded" Germany, Spain, Poland, the Czech Republic and other countries have also rejected the idea of sending troops.

In France, opposition from all sides, from La France insoumise to the National Rally, including the socialists and the right, have condemned the “madness” of military engagement. Even the head of the socialist list in the European elections has proposed to “massively increase military aid to Ukraine”
