Macron: Russia’s permission is not required for a troop deployment in Ukraine

Russia will not be able to object if Ukraine requests the presence of foreign troops on its territory, French President Emmanuel Macron said.

“If Ukraine asks for allied forces to be on its territory, it is not up to Russia to decide whether to accept it or not,” Macron said.

It is worth noting that on March 3, Macron and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer presented their plan for establishing a ceasefire in Ukraine. The proposal includes a one-month ceasefire in the air, at sea, and in energy infrastructure sectors.
