According to a report from Le Monde on Monday, the U.K. and France are mulling the notion of deploying European military forces to Ukraine to fight Russia directly.
“As the conflict in Ukraine enters a new phase of escalation, discussions over sending Western troops and private defense companies to Ukraine have been revived, Le Monde has learned from corroborating sources,” Le Monde said Monday. “These are sensitive discussions, most of which are classified – relaunched in light of a potential American withdrawal of support for Kyiv once Donald Trump takes office on January 20, 2025.”
