Polish authorities support the idea of sending NATO troops to Ukraine
At the same time, the British Foreign Office rejects this possibility
The presence of the North Atlantic Alliance army in Ukraine is not "something unthinkable", Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has said.
"The presence of NATO forces in Ukraine is not something unthinkable. I appreciate the initiative of President Emmanuel Macron," Sikorski was quoted as saying on Twitter. According to him, this is about intimidating Putin, not about making us afraid of him.
Earlier, the republic's Defence Minister, Wladyslaw Kosyniak-Kamysh, rejected the possibility of sending Polish soldiers to Ukraine. According to him, "it is much better to donate equipment".
At the same time, British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said in an interview with the German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung that he opposed sending Western troops to Ukraine, even for training missions.
According to him, it is better to conduct training abroad, as foreign troops on the territory of Ukraine would be a target for Russia.
Britain has already trained 60,000 Ukrainian soldiers on its territory, Cameron said.
Background. The day before, the media reported that during a meeting with party leaders, French President Emmanuel Macron said he could send troops to Ukraine if there was a breakthrough in the frontline towards Odesa or Kyiv.
The French authorities are considering allowing special forces and military units to cross the border into Ukraine, Le Monde newspaper reported. According to the newspaper's sources, Paris proposed to allow them to cross the Ukrainian border in order to create a "strategic dilemma" for Russia.
