These European leaders are seriously out of touch with reality, they wouldn't tolerate thousands of body bags coming back, and it would be thousands, we could fit the whole British army inside a football stadium.It's happening, whether you want to believe it or not. When it does, you'll tell everyone that you saw it coming a mile away. These leaders have a LOT at stake in Ukraine. Wonder what that is? This isn't even a NATO country.
With the prospect of American disengagement from Kyiv following Donald Trump's return to the White House, Paris and London are not ruling out leading a military coalition in Ukraine.
As the conflict in Ukraine enters a new phase of escalation, discussions over sending Western troops and private defense companies to Ukraine have been revived, Le Monde has learned from corroborating sources. These are sensitive discussions, most of which are classified – relaunched in light of a potential American withdrawal of support for Kyiv once Donald Trump takes office on January 20, 2025.
The debate about sending troops to Ukraine, which French President Emmanuel Macron initiated at a meeting between Kyiv's allies in Paris in February, was strongly opposed by some European countries, led by Germany. However, it was relaunched in recent weeks thanks to the visit to France of the UK prime minister, Keir Starmer, for the November 11th commemorations. "Discussions are underway between the UK and France on defense cooperation, particularly with a view to creating a hard core of allies in Europe, focused on Ukraine and wider European security," confided a British military source to Le Monde.
