Emmanuel Macron said he could send to Ukraine and unleashed a political storm in Europe. The president of France said that he "does not rule out" that option to help Kiev.

Several countries rejected the idea, including Germany, Italy and Spain. Russia said that "it is not in Europe's interest" to send European troops to Ukraine.. “Together we must ensure that Putin cannot destroy what we have achieved and cannot extend his aggression to other countries,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
