Troops or non -troops, this is Europe’s dilemma. Yes, because while the United States of Donald Trump take concrete steps to get to peace, the old continent returns to talk about soldiers in Ukraine. This afternoon there will be one informal meeting at the Elysée Among the most important European leaders, Giorgia Meloni and EU-Live Leaders included. A councilor of Emmanuel Macron He explained that “following the acceleration on the Ukrainian question and also following what the American leaders stated, Europeans must do more, better and with greater consistency for our collective security”.
As previously highlighted, the debate is linked to the possible sending of troops to Ukraine. A hypothesis launched some time ago by Macron, looking for consensus at home, but crushed by the other EU leaders. Now it’s the turn of the Labor Keir Starmerwho said he was “ready and available” by talking about “Boots on the ground” to contribute to Kiev’s security in the context of a peace agreement. A lasting peace is convinced, it is “essential if we have to dissuade (the Russian leader) Vladimir Putin from a further aggression in the future”.
“I don’t say it lightly. I feel very strong the responsibility that derives from potentially putting British military potentially “words to Telegraph:” But any role that contributes to guaranteeing the safety of Ukraine helps to guarantee the safety of our continent and the safety of this country “. Because the end of the conflict triggered by the Russian invasion on the vast scale of Ukraine, started on February 24, 2022, “when it arrives, it will not be able to simply become a temporary break before Putin attacks again”.

Like Macron’s appeal a few months ago, this also seems to be destined for the flop. There Poland He has already made it known that he will not send his troops to Ukraine, reiterating the support for Kiev against Russia: “Poland will support Ukraine as he has done so far: at an organizational level, based on our financial, humanitarian and military skills. We do not plan to send Polish soldiers in the Ukrainian territory “The words of Prime Minister Donald Tusk before flying in Paris for the Macron summit.
On the same wavelength the Germany: It is talking about the participation of German troops in a peace force in Ukraine according to Olaf Scholz. Speaking at an event of the election campaign in view of the early vote on next Sunday, the German Chancellor explained: “The focus should be on a very strong Ukrainian army, even in times of peace. This will be an important task for Europe, the United States and the allies. And the issues to be discussed about the security framework will be addressed when the time is. “
But not only. Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares explained that “Nobody proposes the sending of troops to Ukraine” for a peace mission “because peace is still very distant”, Putin “will bomb Ukrainian today and tomorrow too” . “I don’t see peace on the horizon, even if one of the reflections is like helping to make it come as soon as possible,” he added before defining the meeting on Ukraine called by Macron “legitimate”: “There is a new administration that He is making new proposals on Ukraine, and at the same time we are about to start a quarter year of war and unjustified aggression. It is decidedly legitimate that, in the face of this new scenario, the Europeans meet and reflect to make a series of decisions, because everything concerns our safety and European values ”. Updates will follow.
