Not to the right of Russia: Macron reveals details of the peacekeeping mission in Ukraine without the consent of the Russian Federation.


France and Britain prepare to send a peacekeeping contingent to Ukraine
France and Britain plan to send military personnel to conduct training programs and provide long-term support to Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron announced this in a joint interview with Le Parisien. The project has interested several other countries.
The main goal of the mission is to deploy several thousand military personnel from each participating country in cities such as Kyiv, Odesa, and Lviv. They will conduct training programs and provide support to Ukraine. The main task is not a massive deployment of troops, as Ukraine has the largest European army.
President Macron particularly emphasized Ukraine's sovereignty on this issue. He stated that if Ukraine asks its allies to deploy troops on its territory, it does not concern Russia. The consent of Russian President Vladimir Putin is not necessary for making a decision. Earlier, one of the European countries refused to support Ukraine.
