French soldiers in Ukraine Why the hypothesis is moving away

Should Western troops be sent to Ukrainian soil? For several months, European states have been struggling over this question, and over the response to adopt on the ground in the face of Vladimir Putin’s invasion. For General Nicolas Richoux, former commander of the 7th Armored Brigade, this coalition “could bring together quite a few countries. We obviously think of Poland or the Baltic States.” But the negotiations drag on.

In France, media attention has focused more on the upcoming legislative elections, since the announcement of the dissolution by Emmanuel Macron on the evening of June 9. Several questions remain: within what legal framework could these troops be deployed? Could this reinforcement give Ukraine a strategic advantage? And especially… what would happen in the event of cohabitation ? Answer in this new long format video.
