As for the troops. About a year ago, we talked about the possibility of their work in strategic regions
He noted that France is now talking about sending troops when a lasting, sustainable peace is signed between Ukraine and Russia to guarantee security.
France has been working on plans together with Britain not to send our troops to the occupied territories or to the front line, but to ensure peace, to ensure the implementation of the signed agreement. That is, it will be a peaceful deployment, not for combat, but for reassurance and solidarity
Macron noted that the question is what the US contribution will be.
I spoke to European allies who are ready to join this (deployment of a contingent in Ukraine - ed.). Countries helped Ukraine to provide military capabilities, others provided logistical support on the ground. The question is what the US contribution will be, and when we talked about it, we realized that it may be acceptable for Russia (deployment of the contingent - ed.)
