In an interview with the British newspaper Financial Times, he said that now is not the time to send troops to Ukraine and that he does not even want to discuss it now. However, in the long term “nothing can be ruled out,” Valtonen said.
In addition, according to her, the West does not know what the Ukrainian conflict will lead to, so it is not necessary to “reveal all the cards.”
In February, French President Macron said Western countries were discussing the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine, but a consensus had not yet been reached.
Several NATO countries immediately opposed this proposal, including Germany, Italy, Hungary and others.
According to media reports, Macron’s words about sending military personnel to Ukraine angered the United States. They fear that such a move could lead to a direct confrontation with Russia.
