Debate on Sending European Troops to Ukraine Breaks Out Again

European countries have resumed discussions about the potential deployment of troops or fighters from private military companies to Ukraine, France’s Le Monde reports, citing unnamed sources. “The U.K. and France are in talks on defense cooperation, particularly aimed at creating a strong coalition of allies in Europe focused on [assisting] Ukraine and [strengthening] European security in a broader context,” an unnamed British defense official told Le Monde. When British Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited France on Nov. 11, the idea was discussed again, the newspaper says.
