Premier Giorgia Meloni on Tuesday
rejected French President Emmanuel Macron's suggestion that NATO
troops could be sent to Ukraine saying that this risked
unacceptable escalation in the conflict with Russia.
On the "proposal put forward by France regarding possible direct
intervention", "I reiterate also in this Chamber that our
position is not in favour of this hypothesis, a harbinger of a
dangerous escalation to be avoided at all costs", she said
during her communications to the Senate ahead of the EU Council,
speaking about Ukraine.
Macron has repeatedly suggested recently that French, or other
NATO, troops might be sent in to help Kyiv fight off the Russian
aggression.
