Estonia’s Defense Minister urged Kyiv’s allies not to send troops to Ukraine

Estonian Minister of Defense Hanno Pevkur has urged Ukraine’s allies not to send troops to Ukraine, as the risks of such actions outweigh the benefits.

This was reported by The Hill.

“European leaders, according to reports, are discussing whether to send troops to Ukraine for training and assistance… However, Pevkur stated that the risks of such a move outweigh the advantages,” the publication wrote.

Earlier, the leader of the French party *Patriotes*, Florian Philippot, stated that if troops are sent to Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron will be considered a traitor to his country.

Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that France’s training of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers is a direct involvement of Paris in the conflict in Ukraine. The diplomat clarified that Macron is one of the most ardent supporters of “war until victory” and “strategic defeat” for Russia.

Before this, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced that Germany, France, the UK, Poland, and Italy intend to strengthen Ukraine’s military industry.
