Polish foreign minister says sending troops to Ukraine should not be ruled out

When asked whether Poland was ready to send troops to Ukraine, Sikorski said: "We shouldn't rule out this possibility. We should let Putin guess our intentions."

Previously, Sikorski himself stated that the presence of NATO troops in Ukraine was "unimaginable".

NATO members have pledged to provide money and weapons to their ally Ukraine for as long as necessary to contain Russia's growing power. However, they have generally ruled out the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine.

In early March, the Polish Foreign Minister suggested that discussing Western troops in Ukraine could be helpful in influencing Russia.

Czech President Petr Pavel also argued that Europe should not restrict its ability to support Ukraine. He called for expanding the forms of support, including the possibility of a foreign military presence in Ukraine.

Previously, French President Emmanuel Macron had repeatedly mentioned the idea of ​​sending troops to Ukraine. At a conference in Paris on February 26, he suggested that one area where Western militaries could assist was training Ukrainian soldiers on Ukrainian soil.

On May 27, the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrskyi, announced that he had signed documents allowing French military trainers to soon visit Ukrainian training centers.

Russia has gained a foothold in Ukraine since Kyiv's failed summer 2023 counteroffensive, and the situation remains deadlocked due to Western delays in supplying weapons and ammunition.
