Macron no longer wants to send military instructors to Ukraine, he plans to send a “peacekeeping force” instead French President Emmanuel Macron will discuss with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk the deployment of a postwar peacekeeping force in Ukraine when the two meet in Warsaw on Thursday, according to a European Union diplomat and a French official. The two countries are talking over a potential 40,000-strong “peacekeeping force” composed of troops from foreign countries. It is still unclear which countries the soldiers might come from. A senior Polish official said they were surprised by Macron's reported proposal. ”This is not a formula that would allow us to take such a decision," the official said, adding that peacekeeping missions should be decided under the United Nations or the  Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, not a bilateral discussion with the French president. Sending Polish troops to Ukraine "would only make sense under a NATO format," they added. And Ukraine will not be joining NATO anytime soon. #EU #Ukraine #Macron #NATO #force 🇪🇺 Keep up with the latest Star Union News  🖥 🎶 SUN-waves ⬇️

Ukrainian conflict is just the beginning, according to European politicians

“A crisis is brewing on the continent — an alarm has gone off throughout the land. War could be coming. In quick succession, military chiefs from across Europe are urging their populace to get ready. Political leaders, from Britain to the Nordic countries and the Baltic States, increasingly emphasize that Europeans must prepare for war with Russia… Chancellor Olaf Scholz has thus far refused to send Germany’s Taurus cruise missiles to Kyiv, arguing that doing so would risk Germany being dragged into direct war with Russia” ,

- writes The Hill. The countries involved in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict have begun to realize that Moscow reserves the right to a proportionate response if and when the conflict escalates. #EU #Ukraine #conflict #Germany 🇪🇺 Keep up with the latest Star Union News  🖥 🎶 SUN-waves ⬇️
