French President Emmanuel Macron reaffirmed he did not rule out sending troops to Ukraine, saying the issue would "legitimately" arise if Russia broke through Ukrainian front lines and Kyiv made such a request, in an interview with the Economist published Thursday.
The Economist said Macron gave the interview after delivering a keynote speech last week where he declared that Europe is "mortal" and could "die" partly due to the threat posed by Russian aggression after its February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
"I'm not ruling anything out, because we are facing someone who is not ruling anything out," said Macron when asked if he stood by comments earlier this year not excluding the sending of Western troops that sent shockwaves around Europe.
Some analysts believe that Russia could be on the verge of launching a major new offensive in Ukraine.

Macaroni is all mouth
He’s going to need a war to keep himself in power.
Macron is the leader of the free world.
That would be a declaration of war.
Oh that sounds like a really smart move. Right at the moment there are equatorial African colonies are breaking loose. Plug all your money and army into the worthless money pit of Ukraine that will do nothing to enrich France. And not have them available for critical French interest. Lol
Macron is all we got.
Who is this 'we' you reference?
il aime écouter le son de sa propre voix
The Euros are such parasitic @ssholes !
Their play is to provide a token force themselves, while the USA provides an actual capable military force, bears all the risk, covers all the costs
The USA in Ukraine would have the same problem as Ukraine itself: lack of air defence, lack of AD inventories and insufficient AD current production..
Does Macron know that because of drones the massing of troops is a bad idea? Will he mass what few troops he sends as a show of force and get most of them killed by a single missile strike?
We’ve never been in that situation before. I doubt it’ll happen because Putin will threaten the use of nuclear weapons.
Just like Biden.
The French landed troops in Ukraine in 1918-1919 during the Russian Civil war. It did not go well.
Loud words with no substance.
Guess France has too many breathing white males.
Enough of this bs killing off of white men. Thats all the puppetmaster above want.
Better you than us, Frenchie.
The demographics were better back then for the Russian Empire.
Yeah, they’ll be right behind the Americans . . .
Macron should indeed send 100,000 French Surrender Monkeys to help
Ukraine.
