A Russian state TV host has expressed alarm over French President Emmanuel Macron doubling down on the possibility of sending ground troops into Ukraine. “I don’t know; this isn’t funny anymore. Please do something!” Ekaterina Shugaeva said during a state TV broadcast. “The jets are flying [over Ukraine], the HIMARS are flying,” said Shugaeva. “Do you understand that [Macron’s] lost it, he’s going to send in the troops [to Ukraine].

Macron has said there are “no limits” to Paris’ support for Kyiv. In late February, he suggested that NATO members could send ground troops to Ukraine, and the leader doubled on that statement last week, saying that “we cannot exclude options” because “the security of Europe and the security of the French people is at stake here.”

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov responded to Macron’s remarks on March 15, telling reporters that it was “obvious that Russia is an adversary of France because France is already involved in the war in Ukraine; it is indirectly taking part in this war.”
