French President Emmanuel Macron said he has his own rule and is going to come to Ukraine with clear proposals and decisions.

"I have a rule that my visit should be as useful as possible for Ukraine. This is exactly what we have always agreed and done with President Zelenskyy. I will go to Berlin and talk to Chancellor Scholz and the Prime Minister of Poland. I am sure we will be able to allocate additional funds," the French president said.

He added that when he "physically arrives" in Ukraine, it will mean clear proposals and decisions.

Macron's statements on sending troops to Ukraine

At the end of February, French President Emmanuel Macron did not rule out the possibility that NATO might send troops to help Ukraine. However, there was no consensus at the time.

Later, Macron clarified that French troops could be sent to Ukraine if Russian troops attacked Kyiv or Odesa again.

A number of NATO countries opposed this idea, including Germany, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Poland, Spain, and Italy. At the same time, some countries are ready to consider such a possibility, including Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.

On March 14, Macron again made a statement about French troops in Ukraine. He emphasized that this option is not ruled out.
