Russia has no say in the issue of the presence of peacekeeping troops on the territory of Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview with the newspaper Le Parisien ahead of the "coalition of the willing" summit hosted by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on March 15.
"Ukraine is a sovereign state, and if it asks for allied troops to be on its territory, it is not Russia's business whether to accept them or not," Macron said.
Separately, the French leader commented on the peace plan of Great Britain and France. Work on the document is practically complete. Later, it will be presented by the United States. As Macron noted, the goal is not to create "massive troops", because the largest army in Europe is the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“It’s about deploying several thousand people from each country in key locations to conduct training programs and demonstrate our support in the long term,” — he added.
