Czech President open to NATO ground troops in Ukraine – with crucial restrictions. President Petr Pavel is also not averse to sending Western troops to Ukraine - although not to fight directly against Russia, but rather for training purposes.
Putin, the president of Russia, warned of “tragic consequences” if NATO sent troops to the Ukraine in his state of the nation address. Putin emphasized that the West would risk a major nuclear war by supporting Kiev. Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General, Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the heads of government of other countries have already ruled out sending NATO troops.
