WW3? England and France Threaten to Send Troops To Ukraine if Trump Withdraws Aid


In light of President Trump’s election win — and his campaign promise to stop sending millions of taxpayer dollars in foreign aid to Ukraine — European countries are now plotting what sounds a whole lot like World War 3!

In response to an impending halt on aid packages from the United States, England and France are reportedly in talks to deploy their own military troops to Ukraine.

This would mark a dramatic, and irreversible, escalation of the conflict with Russia.

Take a look for yourself:

Britain and France are in talks to send troops to Ukraine to deter Vladimir Putin, it has emerged.

London and Paris want to create a “core of allies in Europe” as fears intensify that President-elect Donald Trump could withdraw military support for Ukraine.

British and French troops could be among European allies deployed to deter the Kremlin from attacking Ukraine again.

And they could train Ukrainian forces, similar to how they did before Moscow ordered a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

A British military source told French newspaper Le Monde: “Discussions are underway between the UK and France regarding defence cooperation, particularly with the aim of creating a core of allies in Europe, focused on Ukraine and broader European security,”

Russia has warned Western countries like France and England against such escalation.

From LBC:

French newspaper, Le Monde, had claimed that the two countries had “revived” discussions about deploying Western forces and private military contractors to Ukraine.

However, Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesperson, stated the report was “not in line with reality” and had faced opposition from most European capitals.

He stated: “There is no unanimity of opinion among Europeans on this matter but, of course, some hotheads appear.”

They also reported “sensitive discussions, most of which are classified” had been reset in the wake of Donald Trump’s presidential victory in the USA as some suggest the win could signal a withdrawal support for Ukraine.

According to Le Monde, a British military source told them: “Discussions are under way between the UK and France on defence cooperation, particularly with a view to creating a hard core of allies in Europe, focusing on Ukraine and European security in the broad sense.”

In February, French President Emmanuel Macron caused a stir across Europe when he stopped short of ruling out sending “troops” to Ukraine, a proposal that has been strongly opposed by Germany.

However, Le Monde reported that the idea is far from being “abandoned” and has been “revived in recent weeks,” particularly following the visit of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to France during the November 11 ceremonies.
