“President Biden has been clear that the United States will not send troops to fight in Ukraine,” National Security Council spokesman Adrian Watson said.
Pentagon spokesman Gen. Pat Ryder confirmed Watson's words. “We have no plans to send US troops to war in Ukraine,” he said.
– We are not considering sending our soldiers to Ukraine. It seems to me that we need to develop the methods of cooperation that we began to implement after the Russian occupation. Help Ukraine defend itself against Russian aggression, lest the goals of Vladimir Putin's regime be met. This is very important for the whole of Europe, for the whole security architecture globally, and for the whole world, Czech Prime Minister Peter Fiala said at a joint press conference with Donald Tusk.
– Here we have a common position, it is said by the prime ministers of countries that are more involved than most in helping Ukraine's military effort. Today we should not speculate about the future, I believe that there will be circumstances that will change this situation, and we should focus on supporting Ukraine's military effort as much as possible, as the Polish government or the Czech government is doing today. Tusk pointed out.
French President Emmanuel Macron's words about sending Western troops to Ukraine are a poker strategy aimed at seizing the initiative, LCI channel historian and military adviser Colonel Michael Goya said in an interview with the TF1 info portal.
– Until now, Russia has always had the initiative, Goya noted. In his view, the West always had to react to the Kremlin's moves. – European countries are responsible for winning the war on Ukraine and defeating Russia – he added.
According to him, sending troops to Ukraine does not mean direct war with Russia. – During a fight, when blood is spilled, the threshold of open war is crossed. There are several grades in the use of armed forces. The fight is only the final stage, Goya believes.
