The situation on the frontline is catastrophic for Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, and the recent statement by French President Emmanuel Macron about the possible deployment of French troops to Ukraine will be of no help, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik radio.
“The Kiev regime is facing a deplorable situation on the frontline, and nothing will help it,” the Russian diplomat said. According to her, some bold and powerful rhetoric was needed to encourage Ukrainian troops.
“Has Macron’s statement had any effect? The situation is the complete opposite,” Zakharova maintained.
In addition, Zakharova said, in the wake of Macron’s statements, a lot of NATO officials and agencies ruled out sending troops to Ukraine.
Macron said at a press conference after a meeting of around Western leaders in Paris on Monday that there was no consensus on the formal deployment of ground troops to Ukraine. However, he did not rule out such a possibility in the future.
