The European Union did not make any collective decision on the possible deployment of troops to Ukraine

Representative of the European External Action Service Peter Stano stated that the European Union did not make any collective decision regarding the possible deployment of troops to Ukraine. He made this statement at a press conference in Brussels.

According to him, these are decisions of individual countries.

“There is no decision at the EU level to send troops to Ukraine. The question of how to support Ukraine militarily is the responsibility of member states and their sovereign decisions,” Stano said, commenting on Emmanuel Macron’s words.

Recall that French President Macron did not rule out the dispatch of troops from European countries to Ukraine. He said that this issue was discussed at a meeting of Western countries in Paris, but no consensus was reached.

Leaders of the main EU countries, as well as the NATO Secretary-General, rejected Macron’s proposal. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz stated that in the future, “there will be no ground troops or soldiers sent there by European states or NATO countries.”

And the press secretary of the British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak stated that London does not plan for a “large-scale deployment of troops” in Ukraine.
