Macron says French troops will not be sent to fight in Ukraine in near future

President Emmanuel Macron on Monday announced that French troops would not be sent to fight in Ukraine in the near future.

"I don’t think that war will come to our territory, I want to reassure you. We won’t engage in hostilities on Ukraine’s territory right tomorrow either, I can assure you," AFP quoted him as telling the Generation Do it Yourself podcast.

The French president said that he understands concerns of those who "are afraid that the conflict might spread into France."

After a conference on Ukraine in Paris on February 26, French President Emmanuel Macron said that the participants had considered sending ground troops to Ukraine. Although no consensus was reached, he left the door open for such a scenario in the future.
