Leaders across Europe have lined up to rule out putting troops on the ground in Ukraine after French president Emmanuel Macron announced he was open to the idea of sending soldiers to fight against Vladimir Putin’s forces – as the Kremlin warned of the “inevitability” of a direct war with Nato if such a move took place.
The war of words came as Russian forces expanded their takeover of a section on the eastern front line, further capitalising on Ukraine’s significant artillery disadvantage created by the depletion of Western supplies to the country over the last six months.
Britain, Germany, the head of Nato and several other key allies of Kyiv announced they had no plans to send troops into the fight against Russian forces.
