French President Macron is committed to preventing a Russian victory in Ukraine and has raised the idea of potentially sending troops.

European leaders from countries such as Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic, as well as the US, have expressed reservations about Macron's suggestion and are not in favor of sending troops to Ukraine.

The US has specifically stated that it will not send soldiers to fight in Ukraine.

Russia has issued a warning that the involvement of Western forces in the Ukraine conflict would lead to inevitable conflict.

Russian dissident Oleg Orlov has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison after speaking out against Russia's military actions in Ukraine.

The situation in Ukraine's Donbass region remains tense as discussions about Western military involvement continue to be a divisive topic among European leaders.
