Macron on Western troops in Ukraine: Not ruling something out does not mean doing it

French President Emmanuel Macron has once again commented on his statement that "we cannot rule out" the possibility of deployment of Western troops in Ukraine.

Details: Asked if he "does not rule out" deployment of Western troops to Ukraine, Macron replied: "Not ruling something out does not mean doing it."

"Today, the only way to achieve peace is to stop the aggressor. The aggressor must agree to lay down his arms. And if no one tells him that he has to stop..." Macron said.

Macron said last week that "we cannot rule out" the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine. He later added that his words had been carefully considered.

At the same time, Macron's statements provoked a negative reaction from the governments of the allied countries, whose leaders were quick to assure that they would not send any troops to Ukraine. 

Moscow reacted angrily to Macron's remarks, warning that the deployment of Western troops in Ukraine would inevitably lead to a conflict between Russia and NATO.
