EU is not discussing sending troops to Ukraine - EC
The European Commission is not currently discussing the issue of sending troops to Ukraine.
This was stated by the head of the European Commission's press service, Paula Pinho, Censor.NET reports citing Interfax-Ukraine.
"In order for the troops to be sent, all member states must agree to this. This discussion has not yet taken place. Europe does not yet have a position on this issue," she said.
Foreign Policy Spokesperson Anitta Hipper, meanwhile, reiterated the European Union's position that "the EU will support Ukraine for as long as it takes".
"All options are on the table and this is the basis on which the EU will continue to work and coordinate its efforts," she said.
Foreign troops in Ukraine
The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, believes that the appearance of foreign troops in Ukraine should not be ruled out.
The day before, the French newspaper Le Monde cited sources as saying that Europe was once again discussing the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine.
