Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov sees NATO ambitions to defeat Russia in Ukraine behind Macron’s hint at French troops in Ukraine! This is a Major escalation!!
Scholz and Macron will speak to each other first before being joined by Tusk, a German government source said.
The meeting follows tension between the French and German leaders over issues such as Ukraine policy, most recently stirred by Macron not ruling out the deployment of ground troops in Ukraine.
French President Emmanuel Macron opened the door on Monday to European nations sending troops to Ukraine, although he cautioned that there was no consensus at this stage as allies agreed to ramp up efforts to deliver more munitions to Kyiv.
