Man beachte – West-Truppen sind schon in der Ukraine:
Alexander Gabuev, director of the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, also said Macron’s comments represented a toughening of his stance.
„Perhaps it’s a form of strategic ambiguity to push Putin to negotiate on Ukrainian terms,“ Gabuev told AFP.
He pointed out that a small number of Western troops and volunteers were already on the ground in Ukraine, adding that he could not imagine French society backing the idea of sending a large French contingent to fight there.

A European military source said that European allies had been studying the plan for several weeks and the United States supported the idea.
Former senior NATO official Camille Grand said Macron’s statements were a „major political signal.“
„The message is threefold: to the Ukrainians, we are saying that we are prepared to take risks alongside them. To Russia, this war is very important to us,“ Grand told AFP.
„To the public, the stakes are so high that we can’t rule out this possibility.“
