Prime Minister Petr Fiala said that for most countries the topic of deploying foreign troops in Ukraine is "unacceptable," so "no one in Europe" is going to do it

CTK writes about this.

"Would it be useful if some soldiers, for example, from France, were on the territory of Ukraine, but not fighting there, but helping with training," Fiala said.

According to him, the full consensus was that it would no longer be discussed or considered: "That this is not a topic because for the vast majority of countries this idea is unacceptable. No one in Europe is going to send troops to Ukraine."

The Prime Minister did not want to characterize the nature of the existing information, but, according to him, all the necessary information is available: "I don't think there is a need to dramatize and scare with some things that no one has offered and is not offering in the way they are then interpreted."

  • On February 26, about 20 European leaders met in Paris to discuss threats from Russian President Vladimir Putin. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed them.
  • After the conference, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that the deployment of Western ground troops to combat Russian aggression should not be ruled out in the future.
  • Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico confirmed that some NATO and EU member states are allegedly discussing the possibility of sending their troops to Ukraine after signing bilateral agreements with Kyiv.
  • NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and the leaders of the Alliance said that no general decision had been made to send troops to Ukraine, and Russia called such a move a declaration of war.
  • On February 29, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said that Western leaders should not rule out the possibility of sending ground troops to Ukraine.
