The debate over sending troops to #Ukraine, initiated by #Macron at a

4⃣"There are ongoing discussions between the #UK & #France about defense cooperation, in particular with a view to creating a strong core of allies in #Europe focused on #Ukraine and wider #European security," a #British military source told #LeMonde
5⃣In a Nov. 23 interview with the #BBC, #French FM Jean-Noël Barrot called on Western allies “not to set or express red lines” in their support for #Ukraine. When asked about the possibility of sending #French troops to the battlefield, he said: “We do not rule out any option.”
