The White House said Tuesday that the United States will not send soldiers to fight in Ukraine, despite French President Emmanuel Macron's refusal to rule out the deployment of Western military.

French President Emmanuel Macron said he could not rule out deploying soldiers to Ukraine, even though Western leaders were unable to achieve an agreement on the issue during a Paris-hosted Ukraine meeting. 

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius stated that Macron's suggestion to immediately intervene in the Ukrainian war had no support among the leaders and that Germany would not consider such an action.

National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson revealed in a statement that "President Biden has been clear that the US will not send troops to fight in Ukraine."

Watson added that the US president believes the "path to victory" is the passing of blocked military aid to Ukraine.

Biden has expressed that it is "urgent" that the US pass additional support for Ukraine. 

Before a meeting with congressional leaders at the White House, he expressed "Ukraine, I think the need is urgent," adding that he believes the consequences of inaction are "dire."

Furthermore, Biden stated that he raised the subject with the Group of Seven (G7) countries, who voiced worry about the United States' potential failure to give extra aid.

In mid-February, $95 billion wartime "assistance" package for Ukraine, "Israel", and Taiwan was rejected by Republicans. 

The package encompasses $60 billion designated for Ukraine, where military resources are quickly depleting. A substantial portion of these funds is intended to bolster Ukraine's military capabilities and replenish US weaponry and equipment deployed to the frontline.

The EU foreign and security policy spokesperson indicated Tuesday that an EU member state has the right to select the type of military help it provides to Ukraine and that sending soldiers to Ukraine would also be a sovereign option.

Speaking to reporters in Brussels, Peter Stano expressed "We must support Ukraine so it can come on top when it comes to its defense. " 

The method of support, Stano detailed, was the "responsibility of the member states and their sovereign decision to make."

The US fortifies its security using Ukrainian troops: Report

The discourse over the Ukrainian War, by its Western benefactors, holds a certain bitter paradox when discussed with statements flooded with the moral duty to aid Ukraine and funding it to the big win, but forget, or even neglect, the human devastation it has brought onto the Ukrainian army, the same soldiers who have been funded, defunded, and forced to fight a prolonged war despite the losses they have suffered, Responsible Statecraft analyzed in a recent report.

Citing Zanny Minton Beddoes, editor-in-chief of the Economist, who spoke to the Daily Show, indicated that the United States, despite funding Ukraine to the multibillions, is aiding it in "the cheapest way possible" to improve its national security, while the heavy lifting is being done by the Ukrainians, "the ones who are being killed".

This is what those who support a prolonged, categorical war in Ukraine have been saying since the beginning of the war two years ago, RS said. Since then, US politicians have not shied away from sharing the de facto purpose of the war, and do not mind the fact that Ukrainians are dying for a war the US incited for its own security.

Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.) said early on during the war that the billion-dollar packages spent on Ukraine, being the best money they have ever spent, will keep the military fighting "till the last Ukrainian", unveiling the facade of moral highness the US had sold in speeches and statements, and kickstarting the critique of the United States fighting in Ukraine to the last Ukrainian.

US Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell revealed that the US is reconstructing its industrial base without risking American lives, and Sen. Richard Blumenthal affirmed that US interests are being met in Ukraine, “all without a single American service woman or man injured or lost.”
