Loading ...European Force In Ukraine Could ‘Respond’ If Attacked By Russia: Macron
He’s calling it “reassurance force”… but more like assurance for WW3.
A ‘coalition of the willing’ is mulling a European army which would be deployed to Ukraine in a ‘peacekeeping’ capacity, except that French President Emmanuel Macron has also admitted these Western forces would be ready to join the conflict if provoked. Most importantly, Macron said Wednesday that a proposed European armed force to enforce a future Ukraine peace deal could “respond” to a Russian attack if Moscow launched one.
Of course, this is precisely why the Kremlin has rejected any plan which calls for NATO country forces to be present in Ukraine. President Putin sent his army into Ukraine in February 2022 as in large part a reaction to constant NATO expansion to Russia’s doorstep.
Given all of this, the prospect of peace doesn’t actually seem close, despite the continued optimistic statements coming from the White House. President Trump has aimed to achieve peace within the some first one hundred days of his presidency, but that’s looking increasingly unrealistic at this point.
