French President Emmanuel Macron has stated that Paris is currently not preparing to send its ground troops to Ukraine. However, he has noted that France is considering the possibility of deploying military experts or a limited contingent outside the line of contact as a show of solidarity.

French President Emmanuel Macron will host European leaders, including Britain's prime minister on Monday for an emergency summit on the Ukraine war after U.S. officials suggested Europe would have no role in any talks on ending the conflict.

While Trump moves toward de-escalation in Ukraine, Starmer is doubling down on support for Kyiv, stating the U.K. is “ready and willing” to send British troops if necessary. This stance stands in contrast to Macron and Scholz’s more cautious approach.
