In order not to fight ourselves: what could prompt the West to more actively provide weapons to the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Emmanuel Macron said that he does not exclude the scenario of sending troops into the territory of Ukraine. After all, Vladimir Putin can start a war against Europe, and then the EU members will have to fight directly, and on their own territory.

This is very important and directly influences the opinions of certain countries. About this 24 Channelsaid the chief consultant of the National Institute for Strategic Studies, Ivan Us, noting that this most affects the Baltic countries, which understand that in the event of a possible war between Russia and NATO, their countries may be hit first.

Europeans fear for their homes

A possible war against NATO is no longer a question of “someday.” Research by the German Council on Foreign Relations showed that war in Europe, in the event of Ukraine's defeat, is a matter of 6 – 10 years.

Certainly Such studies influence the position of European leaders. They also formed the beginning of more significant military assistance from Germany to Ukraine and the statement of Emmanuel Macron, noted Us.

Previously, US President Joe Biden stated that there would be no American troops in Ukraine. Now, when they are already talking about a possible war between Russia and the EU on the territory of European countries, this position is being criticized.

“We cannot say that France will definitely send its troops; Macron did not say this. But this is already a movement in the right direction, at least from the position of “no way” to the position of “anything can happen.” Will there be troops in Ukraine? In the future, I don’t rule out that there will be, because there is still a risk that if Russia wins, the war will continue to come to the homes of Europeans,” explained Us.

At the same time, before theoretically sending their troops, the partners will provide Ukraine with all the necessary weapons to prevent the Russians from making much progress. The loss of Avdiivka, although it has a negative meaning, is at the same time an additional argument, because it demonstrates what the inaction of the allies leads to. Accordingly, if they do not want to fight themselves, then they need to quickly provide everything they need.
