The proposal from French President Emmanuel Macron to send European forces to Ukraine to counter Russian aggression is taking shape, but many questions remain regarding the command structure, troop numbers, and their positions, stated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with the Associated Press.
According to him, this issue was raised by Emmanuel Macron and Donald Trump.
"I mentioned in the presence of both leaders that we are interested in this as part of security guarantees, but not as the sole security guarantee," Zelensky said, emphasizing that "this is not enough."
The head of state added: "Imagine there is a contingent. The question is, who is in charge? Who commands? What will they do if there are Russian strikes? Missiles, landings, attacks from the sea, crossing the land border, an offensive. What will they do? What powers do they have?"
When asked if he had posed these questions directly to Macron, Zelensky responded: "We are still in the process of this dialogue."
