Quote: "Europe’s fate is being decided on the battlefields of Ukraine. Times like these require political leadership, ambition, and courage to think out of the box. The initiative behind the Paris meeting yesterday is well worth considering."
Details: European leaders' discussion of support for Ukraine through the possible deployment of Western ground forces to its territory is a signal to Russia, Neeme Väli, Estonian Major General in the Reserve, stated.
After a meeting in Paris on Monday, French President Emmanuel Macron suggested that Western troops might be sent to Ukraine in the future, although he stressed that there is currently no consensus among the allies on this issue.
France later clarified that the participation of foreign troops in the fighting was not on the table.
At the same time, a range of European nations and NATO have stressed that they have no plans to send troops to Ukraine.
