Macron: Troops not ruled out in bolstering Ukraine

PARIS: France's President Emmanuel Macron on Monday announced new steps to boost Ukraine in its fight against Russia's invasion, saying not even the sending of Western ground troops was ruled out to achieve Europe's goal of defeating Moscow.

Speaking after hosting a meeting of two dozen European leaders to discuss Ukraine, Macron painted a grim picture of a Russia whose positions he said were 'hardening' both at home and on the battlefield.
