The Vatican calls Macron's proposal to send troops to Ukraine a "frightening scenario" that could lead to further escalation.

Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin said that French President Emmanuel Macron's suggestion that Europe could send ground troops to Ukraine opens a "frightening scenario," UNN reports, citing Vatican News.

It is a really scary scenario because it will lead to an escalation that we have always tried to avoid from the very beginning. It's a scenario that I wouldn't call apocalyptic, because maybe that's an exaggerated word at this point, but it's certainly a fearful one

- Parolin said.

When asked about the possible reasons why Macron made such a statement, a Vatican spokesman said that it was probably due to the fact that after two years of war, "there are still no prospects for a solution on the horizon, whether military or through negotiations.

"It would be ideal to find a way to get both sides to start talking and dialoguing. I believe that if we talk, a solution will be found," Cardinal Parolin added.

According to him, various solutions have been proposed, "the main thing is that there is a will to implement them.
