Macron’s Idea to Send NATO Troops to Ukraine ‘Made Him Look Very Foolish’
The provision of Western aid to the Kiev regime has further exacerbated the current rift between Macron and Scholz, Dr. Gregor Spitzen, German political analyst and independent journalist, told Sputnik. | The past few days have seen Western media discuss "open display of discord" between French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. ● After Macron recently proclaimed that he refuses to rule out sending EU troops to Ukraine, Scholz rejected the idea by emphasizing that "there will be no soldiers on Ukrainian soil sent there" by European states or NATO members. 💬 "There has long been a certain antagonism" between Macron and Scholz, "and the issue of aid to Ukraine has only exacerbated the existing contradictions," Dr. Gregor Spitzen, German political analyst and independent journalist, said in an interview with Sputnik. "France's ill-considered initiative to send NATO ground troops to Ukraine made Macron look very foolish. The initiative was not even supported by NATO's main anti-Russian hawks - the UK and Poland. The idea was also viewed negatively in the US," Spitzen clarified.
