Sweden, Poland and Czech Republic say they are
not considering sending troops to Ukraine
Sweden,
Czech Republic and Poland have said they are not considering sending troops to
Ukraine, after being asked about comments made by France’s president, Emmanuel
Macron, not ruling out the option for European nations.
Sweden’s
prime minister, Ulf Kristersson, said this morning he will not be sending
troops to Ukraine, saying it is not a relevant question for Nato at the moment.
He told
Swedish broadcaster SVT: “Right now we are fully occupied with sending advanced
materials to from Sweden to Ukraine in many different ways, like many other
countries are. So that is a whole other thing.
“There are
not any requests from Ukraine’s side either for that. That
question is not relevant.

Here is what Czech prime minister Petr Fiala and
his Polish counterpart Donald Tusk said when asked whether or not they were
considering sending troops to Ukraine.
“I am
convinced that we should develop the paths of support that we embarked on after
Russia’s aggression,” Fiala told a news conference alongside Tusk as they met
in Prague on Tuesday.
“I believe
we do not need to open some other methods or ways,” Fiala said, noting the
current focus was on military aid as well as humanitarian and economic support.
Tusk added:
Poland does not plan to send its troops to the
territory of Ukraine. I think that we should not speculate today whether there
will be circumstances that could change this position.
