French President Emmanuel Macron has stated that when it comes to sending a peacekeeping contingent to Ukraine, there is no need for Russias consent.
Source Macron in an interview with Le Parisien, as reported by European Pravda Details Macron said that such a military deployment would be limited to a few thousand people from each volunteering country, stationed at key points to conduct training programmes and demonstrate our longterm support.
Quote If Ukraine decides and asks for allied troops to be on its territory, it is not Russias business to accept or reject this. Background Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shares the same view on the peacekeeping contingent, considering it a bad signal to heed Russias opinion on this matter.
Russian officials at various levels, including Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, stated that the presence of NATO troops in Ukraine after a peace agreement would be unacceptable for Russia.
