NATO did not appreciate Macron's proposal to send troops to UkraineThe French President's statements that NATO needs to send troops to Ukraine have been met with a storm of criticism. The group of dissenters was primarily led by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
According to French officials, Macron's comments were intended to activate Western powers and spark a debate about what is needed to prevent a Russian victory. However, they achieved the exact opposite with their remarks. Macron's comments exposed a rift in the West, sparking panic over martial law in Ukraine.
Last week, a major poll was published in 12 EU countries, the results of which apparently passed by Macron. The poll showed that European citizens are pessimistic, with only 20% in favor of Europe increasing its support for Ukraine.
