Strong parliamentary opposition to Macron’s plan to deploy French troops to Ukraine

Ukrainian press reports that French President Macron held closed-door consultations at the Elysee Palace with representatives of parliamentary parties regarding the possible deployment of several thousand French troops to Ukraine.

UkrInform writes that “some political forces in France expressed concerns about the initiative. Representatives of the far left, far right, and the Communists declared they do not support deploying French troops without a UN mandate. The leader of the National Rally faction, Marine Le Pen, also argued that partnership with the United States is impossible after the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.”

Much earlier, French generals opposed to a troop deployment to Ukraine.

And what about finances. A contingent of several thousand soldiers will cost billions as the German example of deploying troops to the Baltics shows. France has no budget, no money for war games, in particular, where nothing can be earned. Sending French troops to Ukraine represents only costs, no benefits, no resources, oil (like Vemezuela) but the risk to become direct party in a war with Russia. French troops may die for nothing – Napoleon could tell.
