According to the French“Le Monde” reported 25, Britain and France have“Re-started” to send Western troops to Ukraine to discuss. The report revealed that British Prime Minister Stamer had discussed the issue with French President Maqueron during his visit to France on November 11. Britain and France want to lead a “Core coalition of allies” in Europe to counter Russia, the report said, with the US likely to cut off military aid to Ukraine because of Donald Trump’s return to the White House. In response, the Russian President’s press secretary, Peskov, said the same day that the Europeans do not agree on the issue of sending troops to support Ukraine, some people think so is “Hot-headed.”. Russian media said Russia only with action to“Cool NATO overheating mind.”. The Ukrainian military said in a statement on the 26th that the Russian military had launched a“Record number of attack drones” the night before to carry out attacks on Ukraine, with a total of up to 188 possible launches.

Britain and France to build“Core Alliance group”
After Donald Trump’s victory in the US election, European discussions about deploying troops to the country have resumed, Le Monde reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Maqueron’s announcement in February that he was willing to send ground troops to Ukraine drew strong opposition from other NATO countries. Scholtz, the German chancellor, has said the rest of NATO was “Almost unanimous” against the idea. The plan then appeared to be put on hold until Stamer, the British prime minister, visited the city earlier this month. The report quoted a British military source as saying: “The UK and France are in discussions on defence co-operation, particularly with a view to establishing a core group of allies in Europe, with a focus on the security of Ukraine and the wider European security.”
There was no further information on how Western military personnel would be deployed in Ukraine. Le Monde speculates that the scope of such a deployment could include sending technicians from private companies to repair Western military equipment, or sending military contractors, or possibly even official soldiers wearing distinctive symbols, deploy to the front lines of the conflict, or enforce a possible ceasefire.
In the past two days, the French authorities have also been on the lookout, the French foreign ministry said, “Do not rule out any option.”. French Foreign Minister Barrow said in a speech to the media on the 24th, Ukrainian security and European security directly related, so the West should not provide military support to Ukraine “Set a red line.”. Barrow said there were “No options” for sending military personnel to Ukraine.
The British government recently delivered dozens of “Storm Shadow” long-range missiles to Ukraine for the “First time since Stamer took office,” Bloomberg said, citing people familiar with the matter. The Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement on the 21st that Russia destroyed two British“Storm Shadow” missiles fired by Ukrainian forces into Russian territory that day.
A direct confrontation with Russia is a“Suicide War.”
In response to Western media reports that Britain and France are discussing sending military personnel to Ukraine, Peskov, the Russian President’s press secretary, said on the 25th that European countries do not agree on the idea of sending their own troops or mercenaries to support Kiev, but some hotheads are thinking about it. He said: “Earlier, some governments in Europe put forward this idea, but there are also countries put forward opposition. There is no consensus in Europe on this issue and, of course, there will always be some who are hot-headed.”
The“Russia Today” television quoted military experts as saying that NATO’s European allies are not yet ready for a full-scale direct confrontation with Russia, but do not rule out the situation on the Ukrainian Front as grave, individual countries send military personnel to Ukraine. Reported that if the Ukrainian Front completely collapsed, Europe may take risks. They may send some trainers or contingents to Ukraine, but Europe is unlikely to confront Russia directly because doing so would be tantamount to a“Full-scale suicide war”.
Other Western countries are also opposed to the report. The group of seven (g7) foreign ministers met in Italy on Sunday, Reuters reported. “We will not send any soldiers to fight in Ukraine, we will help Kiev politically, financially and militarily, but we will not send soldiers to fight,” Tayani, the Italian vice-prime minister and Foreign Minister who chairs the G7, Minister of Defence, also called on Western Allies not to send troops to the country, because“The risks of such action outweigh the benefits”.
NATO says it wants a pre-emptive strike on Russia
More recently, NATO has grown increasingly anxious about the imminent arrival of Donald Trump and the launch of a Russian hypersonic medium-range missile, the hazel. Power, chairman of NATO’s Military Council, said on Tuesday that the alliance was changing its attitude and no longer saw itself as a defensive organisation whose members were waiting to be attacked. He claimed that in the event of a conflict with Russia, NATO should be the first to launch a high-precision combination of strikes on Russian territory.
In this regard, Russian foreign minister Lavroff 26 in the CIS member states security and intelligence services, said the head of the meeting, NATO claims to carry out a pre-emptive strike against Russia. “I don’t think there’s anything to comment on,” he said. “They’ve abandoned all decency and their true intentions have been made public.”. “Obviously they have not read the updated Russian nuclear doctrine,” said Zacharová, a Russian foreign ministry spokesman
Meanwhile, the U.S. National Security Council’s strategic communications coordinator John Kirby at a White House news conference Tuesday to confirm that the U.S. is allowing Ukrainian forces to use ATACMS “In self-defense.”. “We did change the guidelines that they could use these weapons against Russian targets,” he said. The Wall Street Journal quoted the Institute of War Research as saying on the same day, the institute produced maps of some 200 targets in Russia that Ukraine would use ATACMS against.
In response, CJEPA, first vice-chairman of the International Affairs Committee of the Russian Duma, the lower house of Parliament, said that if the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to hit “Sensitive areas” in Russia with long-range American missiles, moscow is sure to respond. Ukrainian president Zelenskiy and European countries are planning to escalate the conflict while Biden remains president of the United States, said Klinczych, director of the Center for the study of military and political conflicts. “This is a highly provocative course that will draw European forces into the conflict.”
“Russia Today” television 26, said Russia only with action to“Cool NATO overheating mind. The report quoted Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov as warning that Putin’s statement after Russia launched the “Hazel” medium-range hypersonic ballistic missile was a clear signal to the west, that Moscow is prepared to respond militarily to the new provocation.
AFP quoted the Ukrainian military statement that day, 26 from the evening of 25 to 26 early morning, the Russian military launched a total of 188 attack drones to Ukraine, “The highest since the conflict.”. Reported that the Russian army launched a large-scale attack on Ukraine, is when NATO member states and Ukraine held in Brussels on aid-related meetings. The Ukrainian representative said he hoped the meeting would produce“Concrete and meaningful results”. But reports say NATO officials have played down expectations of any significant outcome from the meeting. NATO officials only reiterated that Moscow’s launch of the new weapons would not“Prevent NATO allies from supporting Ukraine.”.
