French President Emmanuel Macron has told Western allies there would be no need for NATO or US forces to step into the Ukrainian battlefield if Russia targeted French soldiers deployed in the area, US media reported on Wednesday, citing unnamed US officials.
In late February, following a Paris-hosted conference on Ukraine, Macron said that Western leaders had discussed the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine and, although no consensus had been reached in this regard, nothing could be ruled out.
US President Joe Biden’s administration is concerned about possible Russian attacks against any French forces deployed in Ukraine, as such circumstances could lead to France's full involvement in the conflict along with other allies, the report said. However, Macron has assured allies that there was no need for France's allies to intervene, US officials said.
