French soldiers take part in NATO military exercises in southern Germany|AFP 26. In February, Macron, who chaired a seminar on the war in Ukraine in Paris, suddenly said that he did not rule out the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine. This shocked the world. In the past two days, on the one hand, the United States, Britain, Germany, Spain and other Western powers have clarified that they have no plans to send ground combat troops to Ukraine, and they do not even have the idea of sending ground combat troops to Ukraine to participate in the war; On the other hand, Russia issued a stern warning, reminding Western leaders, including Macron, to "use their brains". At a press conference in Paris, Macron said that Europe only discussed the possibility of sending ground troops to Ukraine, and the topic of the meeting remained the issue of providing assistance to Ukraine's urgent war needs. France** admitted that there was no consensus among Western leaders at the meeting on the issue of sending ground troops. "But in terms of dynamics, we can't rule out any possibilities. We will take all necessary measures to ensure that Russia cannot win this war. Macron also said that France "is not opposed to sending troops." 
French Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday that if NATO members do fight in Ukraine, a direct conflict between NATO and Russia is inevitable. As the Russian-Ukrainian war enters its third year, why did France, which has always been lukewarm on the Ukraine issue, suddenly show its belligerent face and betray the hawkish position of sending troops to Ukraine to fight? Macron may have a lot to think about: first, emphasizing the extreme importance that the war in Ukraine must be won and Russia must lose. If Ukraine loses, the war in Russia will not stop and there will never be peace in Europe; Second, encourage the U.S. to pass the Ukraine aid package as soon as possible – if we don't help us, we'll have to go to war. At the same time, European countries are encouraged to actively fill the void left by the United States when the United States is unable to provide assistance. Third, send different signals to both sides of the war: encourage Ukraine to fight to the end – Europe will never let you lose; Russia is warned to end the war as soon as possible, otherwise NATO will personally enter the war. 
On February 7, 2022, two weeks before the outbreak of the war, Putin met with visiting France in Moscow, but most importantly, Macron personally released information from NATO and Europe that it was possible to enter the war, with the aim of testing or testing Russia's response, and at the same time preparing for the possibility of actually entering the war**. For more than two years, the West and NATO have provided military and financial assistance to Ukraine, always relaxing and heating up in advance, increasing the acceptance and tolerance of both sides of the war (mainly Russia), and constantly testing Russia's ** Putin red line or war bottom line. From French Caesar self-propelled howitzers, American Seahorse missile launchers, German Panther tanks, Patriot air defense systems, British Storm Shadow missiles, F-16 fighter jets, and even interest from Russia's $300 billion overseas exchange of reserves seized by the European Union. Transshipment to Ukraine, etc., is carried out one after the other in the ongoing process of release and testing. In fact, for more than two years of the war, there has been some ambiguity about the presence of US and British military personnel in Ukraine or in the eastern theater, and whether NATO troops are in the war. If it will, it will, and if it won't, then it won't. For example, on February 27, a spokesman for the British Prime Minister's Office stressed in a statement that the United Kingdom has not deployed troops to Ukraine, and said that London has not deployed large-scale troops to Ukraine, except for a few technicians who are already supporting Ukrainian forces in Ukraine. Plan. I said, there is no big scale, is there a small scale? If there is no active military attaché, is the technical intelligence ** counted as a member of the British ** team? So, if the acoustic balloon released by France is not shot down by Putin, the next step will be to gradually increase the number of NATO and European troops stationed in Ukraine. On Tuesday, French Foreign Minister Stephen Seyoune, explaining his stance on the war, reportedly said that the French team could take on a non-combat role instead of actively fighting in Ukraine. This is clearly a language game played by the French in order to reduce Putin's irritation. 
French *** Captain Stephen Seyoune |Reuters France*** said: "We need to think about new measures to support Ukraine. They have to meet very specific needs. In particular, I am thinking about demining, cyber defense, as well as operations on the ground on the territory of Ukraine. "* Production. He went on to explain that "certain operations may need to be stationed on the territory of Ukraine, rather than crossing the threshold of hostilities." No possibility should be ruled out. It was and is the responsibility of the republic** (Macron) post. "According to the French Foreign Minister, France can send demining units, cyber intelligence units, military personnel for the production of armed ammunition, etc. to Ukraine, but the French ** team will not be able to fight the Russians on the front line. Should Putin believe the French nonsense? If NATO and European forces are sent to Ukraine to take over all combat missions outside the front line, theoretically all existing Ukrainian military personnel can be sent to the front line to fight, since all urban air defense, military logistics and intelligence have been taken by Western military personnel. This is equivalent to more than doubling the number of Ukrainian soldiers participating in the war. If the war in Ukraine develops to this point, Russia will not be able to continue this war any longer. Finally, regardless of whether and when NATO enters the war, the French ** Macron sent a very serious signal in advance. Does Putin have any other options than to be unprecedentedly tough and resolute in blocking NATO membership?
