Latvian Prime Minister Eвіка Silinia said she supports the idea of sending NATO troops to Ukraine to train the Ukrainian military, after French President Emmanuel Macron made it clear that he is not against such a step. She said this in an interview with Bloomberg, reports UNN.
According to the prime minister, she would like to see NATO reach a point where "we will conduct training there," although she emphasized that the presence of North Atlantic Treaty Organization troops inside the country would require consensus among the alliance's partners.
"If this proposal is elaborated and expanded, we may decide to conduct training within the country," Silinia said. She also added that Riga wants to analyze "how the situation looks from the point of view of NATO, not just Latvia.
According to her, the refusal to support Ukraine and Russia's victory in the war will have global consequences, including for the United States.
"If Russia wins, the consequences will affect the whole world, including Washington, the United States, not just Europe," the Latvian official said.
