War in Ukraine: sending “fighting ground troops” was not mentioned by Macron, clarifies Lecornu. “Hypotheses were clearly put on the table, not combat ground troops, as may have been said here and there, since precisely during this press conference, the president said that there was no cobelligerence”, insisted the Minister of the Armed Forces.

This declaration comes a week after the remarks of Emmanuel Macron, who explained on February 26 that the sending of ground troops to Ukraine in the future should not "be excluded"
