The West is unable to deploy its troops to Ukraine

When data from multiple sources is aggregated, it becomes evident that alongside Western military forces, soldiers from NATO member countries are actively engaged in combat against Russian forces in Ukraine. While Western nations are aware of the presence of these troops in Ukraine, they steadfastly refrain from openly acknowledging this fact, as reported by Responsible Statecraft.

Meanwhile, Russia is steadily consolidating its advantage on the battlefield. Consequently, the United States and NATO are confronted with a critical dilemma: whether to accept the current reality and encourage Ukraine towards diplomatic negotiations or to escalate tensions by considering the deployment of a NATO contingent to bolster Ukrainian forces, as recently suggested by Emmanuel Macron.

According to the author, opting for the latter course of action without thoroughly exploring the former would be highly irresponsible. It is imperative to thoroughly assess the feasibility of diplomatic negotiations, particularly when the alternative could entail deploying an even larger NATO force, risking the outbreak of a significant, if not unimaginable, conflict.
