Former British Defence Minister: West Should Send Troops To Ukraine

Macron is right.

The West should send its troops to Ukraine, which can be deployed in the western regions of the country, said former British Defence Minister, MP James Heappey.

On the air of Channel 4, he supported the idea of French President Emmanuel Macron to send Western troops to Ukraine.

At the same time, he noted that the Allied forces could deploy on the territory of the western regions of Ukraine, and sending thousands of tanks, hundreds of fighters and thousands of artillery systems would not be enough to help the Ukrainian army to win.

"To Western Ukraine to conduct training. Macron was right when he put forward this idea,” the British politician said.

He drew attention to the fact that the idea of rotating Ukrainian brigades from the front line and transferring them to Germany or Poland for training is unrealistic.

“I don't think Ukrainian generals can afford to keep them out of the front line for that long. So I think the next big step forward is not the capability in the form of a weapon system or anything, the next big step is the arrival of the military in Western Ukraine to do this combined training,” Heappey said.
