Western troops in Ukraine: Europeans reluctant to the idea outlined by Emmanuel Macron. Berlin, London and other European allies of Kiev on Tuesday rejected the comments of French President Emmanuel Macron, believing the sending of Western troops to Ukraine could not "be excluded" The Kremlin, for its part, judged that it was “absolutely not in the interest of these countries” to send soldiers to Ukraine.
The mere fact of evoking this possibility constituted "a very important new element" in the conflict, added Dmitri Peskov.
