NATO and EU countries are reportedly discussing the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine, as stated by Slovakia's Prime Minister, Robert Fico. Fico, known for his pro-Moscow stance and previous opposition to supplying military aid to Ukraine, revealed that he learned of this development through briefing notes ahead of a European leaders' meeting in Paris. Despite uncertainty about the intended role of these troops in the conflict, Fico warned that such a deployment could lead to further escalation in the war-torn region.
