French FM: “Ukraine didn’t ask us to send troops. We don’t exclude anything”
France's FM said Ukraine didn't "ask us to send troops" yet, but nothing can be excluded in the near future. Baltic foreign ministers praise France for "out-of-the-box" thinking.
On 8 March, French Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourné visited Lithuania to meet with his Baltic and Ukrainian counterparts, reinforcing the notion that foreign troops could assist Ukraine in areas such as demining, according to Politico.
“Ukraine did not ask us to send troops. Ukraine is asking us to send ammunition at the moment,” the French minister said in Lithuania, adding: “We do not exclude anything for the coming months.”
Politico said the Baltic ministers praised France for its “out-of-the-box” thinking.
