Lithuanian Foreign Ministry supported Macron's statement on Ukraine
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis spoke about the possible sending of European Union (EU) troops to Ukraine. He called for support for Macron's idea. “In times like the ones we live in, political leadership, ambition and the determination to think outside the box are essential,” he said, reacting to the French president’s words.
At the same time, Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala said that Prague does not support Macron’s idea.

Russia reacted to Macron’s words about sending troops to Ukraine
The French President's statement caused a resonance in Russia. In particular, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev expressed the opinion that Macron “was hit in the head by urine,” and then suffered speech incontinence.
In turn, Senator Konstantin Kosachev reported on the danger of a direct military clash between Russia and NATO. At the same time, Kremlin official representative Dmitry Peskov said that with this formulation of the issue, we are not talking about the likelihood, but about the inevitability of a conflict between Russia and the North Atlantic Alliance.
As State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin noted, the French President made such a statement because he wants to retain power. According to him, Macron is now trying to spark a third world war. “His initiatives are becoming dangerous for French citizens,” Volodin considered. At the same time, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, added that Macron “in principle does not give an account of either what his subordinates say or what he himself says.”
The EU is talking about sending its troops to Ukraine
At the end of February, at a conference to support Kyiv in Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron said that troops from EU countries could go to Ukraine. He noted that they could not officially reach a consensus on this issue, but such a possibility is not excluded.
The fact that some EU and NATO countries are thinking about the possible sending of military personnel to Ukraine was also reported by Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico. At the same time, he stated that such a step would only lead to an escalation of the conflict and would not allow obtaining concessions from the Russian side. At the same time, Fico added that Slovakia would not send its military.
