War in Ukraine

PUBLIC OPINION: Do you support deploying European troops to Ukraine?

French President Macron's statement that under certain conditions French troops could be sent to Ukraine has sparked controversy. Do you support the idea of European troops being deployed to Ukraine?

French President Emmanuel Macron drew a line in the sand, refusing to say that he would never send French troops to Ukraine, as Russia continues its full-scale invasion. Some say Macron went too far. Others applauded the French leader.

Kyiv Post asked people on the streets of Paris and London whether or not they supported sending European troops to defend Ukraine. Most of the people Kyiv Post spoke to were not quite ready to commit European troops to Ukraine under the current circumstances. Some said that it should've already been done.

It's not NATO troops that are required it's ammo . Western countries say they do not want to depleat their defence capabilities but while Russia is occupied in Ukraine these countries are not under threat and supplying Ukraine will keep them busy . It's a fact that while Ukraine has sufficient ammunition and defence weapons ie patriots they are capable of defending themselves . We see how the Russians have taken advantage recently . I hope that they will overextend so that when ammo is replenished and the f16s arrive the russian advance will stop .

This is 1939 all over again appeasement and it didn’t work back then and won’t now. Russia needs to be hit back and hard with whatever means are available because other European Countries will be next.

Europe should fully support including troops mobilisation in Ukraine. This is the only way to stop maniac Putin grabbing sovereign countries one by one.

Yes.
The sooner the better. It will be worse for everyone if it’s delayed till after Russia mounts an offensive this summer.
They should be armed to the teeth with weapons that will hurt Russian lines of supply, forcing Russia to discover that this adventure was a disastrous failure and there is no course but withdrawal. A mediocre effort would encourage them to consider a last ditch extreme measure.

European troops will use the main equipment better, they are more familiar with it and trained. To have a long-lasting unfeared (New Cold War) piece, you will have to fight for it, to ensure that a future generation doesn't miscalculate towards an extinction war.

Yes, I support European Troops getting engaged in Ukraine. It is high time that a coalition of the willing countries ( Germany excluded ) France, UK, Baltic States, Nordic States ..united against Aggression from Russia. Or Russia will be soon at your doorstep. You can only have peace by preparing for war. Germany is a stumbling block to European stability ...

Dobbiamo fermare la Russia ad ogni costo, prima che sia troppo tardi.
Rottura delle relazioni diplomatiche, embargo totale, aiuti economici e sostegno militare totale
