Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko called the possibility of France sending military troops to Ukraine “unacceptable” .

“The Russian Foreign Ministry has repeatedly commented on recent statements by the French president regarding the possible sending of military personnel from member countries of the alliance to the combat zone. I repeat that these ideas were immediately rejected at NATO headquarters in Brussels, in Washington and in most of the other capitals of the block,” Grushko said.

“These statements indicate a willingness to follow the path of escalation under conditions in which the West itself is suffering a strategic defeat on the ground. Such bragging, no matter what internal or external political objectives they pursue, is unacceptable for responsible politicians, especially in the context of the already tense political-military situation in Europe,” Grushko said.

According to information provided by the Xinhua agency, in February, French President Emmanuel Macron announced the European Union (EU) plan for a new coalition aimed at supplying Ukraine with long-range missiles and discussed, without consensus, the possible deployment of troops, arguing that all options were being considered.
