NATO troops in Ukraine: Macron receives encouragement – “Don’t overestimate Russia’s power”. “If the NATO allies reach an agreement on sending troops, Latvia, Latvia would consider participating,” said a defense ministry spokesman from Lithuania.

The Baltic countries, which are considered NATO's Achilles heel because of their proximity to Russia, are overall more positive about the move to send Western troops to Ukraine than their NATO partners in western Europe. Latvia and Lithuania are not fundamentally opposed to the deployment of Western troops.
