The recent inflammatory statements by Macron and Cameron were slammed as irresponsible by Russia. Macron again suggested sending NATO troops to Ukraine. Cameron allowed Kiev to use UK-made missiles against any Russian land.
French President Emmanuel Macron held confidential calls with U.S. President Joe Biden and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in February to convince them about the need for strategic ambiguity toward Russia, the Wall Street Journal reported on April 3, citing undisclosed official sources.
In an interview with the Russian state-owned news agency TASS, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó stated that sending NATO troops to Ukraine would mean risking World War III.
It could be recalled that the French president s calls to send troops to Ukraine hit a brick wall, with authorities from several NATO countries denouncing such a prospect. However, Slovakia s Defense Minister has advocated for Ukrainian young men of military draft age to return home and join their armed forces.
