French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal stated today that Western attempts to stop a Russian victory in Ukraine have no limits, with all means remaining possible.
Attal stated that "you can't rule anything out in a war" a day after French President Emmanuel Macron revealed that dispatching Western ground troops was on the table.
He informed the RTL broadcaster that there was "no consensus" on any "official" deployment of ground troops, however, Attal added, "no dynamic can be ruled out. We will do whatever it takes to ensure that Russia cannot win this war," reiterating Macron's words from the day before.
Macron: Defeat of Russia 'indispensable' for Europe's security
French President Emmanuel Macron declared on Monday, in a meeting with two dozen European leaders to discuss Ukraine, the formation of a new coalition aimed at providing Ukraine with extended-range missiles and ammunition. He emphasized that the possibility of deploying Western ground forces to engage in combat in Ukraine should not be dismissed.
"There is no consensus today to send ground troops... but nothing should be excluded. We will do whatever it takes to ensure that Russia cannot win this war," Macron said after a meeting of European leaders in Paris.
He stated that the newly formed coalition would be established to deliver "medium and long-range missiles and bombs" to Ukraine, further stating, "We firmly believe that Russia's defeat is essential for the security and stability of Europe."
