Kosiniak-Kamysz reported that Poland excludes sending its troops to Ukraine

Poland does not prepare and send its troops to Ukraine," said the national defence minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.

"This concept (sending troops to Ukraine) was presented by president Emmanuel Macron a fewer months ago. Poland is not preparing and will not send Polish troops to Ukraine" said Kosiniak-Kamysz.

At the same time, he added that Poland would proceed to supply military assistance to Ukraine, in peculiar through training Ukrainian military personnel and arms delivery.

"We will aid Ukraine by training Ukrainian soldiers in our country, providing equipment, participating in the relief coalitions for Ukraine," said the minister.

French president Emmanuel Macron said in February that Western leaders discussed the anticipation of sending troops to Ukraine. He acknowledged that the consensus had not yet been reached, but according to him "nothing can be excluded". The Kremlin later said that he pointed out Macron's words that Europe was discussing sending troops to Ukraine, and his position on Russia's strategical defeat in Ukraine is besides well-known Moscow. He noted that many of the countries participating in the Paris event on Ukraine hold "enough sober assessment of the possible dangers of specified action and the possible danger of direct engagement in a hot conflict", that "it is absolutely not in the interest of these countries, they should be aware of this".

Russian defence minister Sergei Szojgu told his French counterpart Sebastien Lecorn that sending French troops to Ukraine would make problems for France itself. Earlier, the Russian abroad Intelligence Service's press office quoted SVR manager Sergei Narishkin, who said that a French military unit, if found in Ukraine, would become a priority, legitimate mark of the Russian army.

Last week, the agency Reuters published a study in which British abroad Minister David Cameron said in an interview during an interview in Kiev that Ukraine allegedly has the right to strike in Russia with British weapons. Later, the agency announced that it was withdrawing this message due to the fact that "it is expected that any details in the text will be corrected". However, on Friday evening, the quote on "almost" Ukraine to hit Russia with British weapons remained unchanged in the fresh version of the published news. In comments for the Bloomberg press agency Cameron said he left Kiev the decision to usage British weapons.
