No ‘enthusiasm’ among European leaders to send troops to Ukraine, Polish president says

European leaders and government representatives, convening in Paris on Feb. 26 to support Kyiv, actively discussed the notion of sending troops to Ukraine, yet encountered minimal support or enthusiasm for the proposal, Polskie Radio reported on Feb. 27, citing the country’s president, Andrzej Duda.

“The most heated debate was over the issue of sending soldiers to Ukraine. Here, too, there was absolutely no consensus,” Duda said.

He refused to disclose the details of the negotiations, including the possible supply of long-range missiles to Kyiv.

“As for the details, it is up to individual countries to decide what kind of assistance they will provide to Ukraine.”

After the Feb. 26 conference in Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron said he would not rule out sending Western troops to Ukraine to help in the war against Russia.

French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal supported Macron’s statement, adding that his country could not be able to accept a situation in which Russia wins the war.

Earlier, El Mundo reported that Macron urged European leaders to take Moscow’s recent actions and signals seriously and prepare for a possible Russian attack on NATO states in the next few years.
