In the future, will French soldiers go to Ukraine to carry out field operations or train soldiers? After two years of war, the head of state broke a taboo by discussing for the first time the potential sending of ground troops. A president who, since then, has persisted and signed. Emmanuel Macron will give an interview at the 20 Hours of TF1 and France 2, Thursday March 14, to detail his vision.
The National Rally refuses any sending of troops
A position which was at the center of the first debate between the candidates for the European elections, which was held on Thursday on Public Senate. Valérie Hayer, candidate for the presidential camp, defended Emmanuel Macron’s line. Faced with it, the National Rally, often accused of being pro-Russian, refused any sending of troops. Same opposition from La France insoumise. Other positions are less radical. No sending of troops for the Republicans and the Socialist Party, but both parties defend Paris’ support for kyiv. Like political leaders, the French are waiting for answers from the head of state on Ukraine.
