In Europe, Macron’s statements about sending troops to Ukraine were explained by “misunderstanding”

In Europe, they announced a misunderstanding of Macron due to statements about sending troops to Ukraine

French President Emmanuel Macron’s statements about sending the army to Ukraine are due to misunderstanding, former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt said.

According to him, he has no idea what really happened.

“I think there was deep misunderstanding and misunderstanding on this issue because it was never on the agenda,” Bildt said.

The politician also said that Sweden and Finland’s membership in NATO “will help strengthen deterrence against Russia.” In his opinion, it is wrong to believe that Europe is “tired of Ukraine”, and the European partners of the Kyiv regime continue to support it.

Earlier, Paul Ronzheimer, deputy editor-in-chief of the German publication Bild, said that French President Emmanuel Macron only harmed Kyiv with his statements about sending troops to Ukraine. According to him, this debate, initiated at the highest level, is not only dangerous, but also detrimental to Ukraine at the moment, “since really important issues such as ammunition are not discussed.” In his opinion, talk about sending troops is dangerous because it increases likelihood of escalation. At the same time, Ronzheimer notes that in Russia they already believe that they are in a state of war with the West, so Macron is “playing into the hands of Ukraine’s opponents and distracting from what Kyiv really needs.”

Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron allowed the sending of troops from European Union countries to Ukraine. He also said that Western countries “intend to do whatever is necessary” to prevent the Russian Federation from winning this conflict. Prior to this, the French leader claimed that Russia was allegedly “acting aggressively” towards Europe, provoking crises on the African continent and creating cybersecurity threats. According to Macron, international institutions need to react if information about the deployment of nuclear weapons in space is confirmed, and the Russian Federation must provide explanations.
