For example, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz described any discussions on the sending of European soldiers as peaceful troops to Ukraine during the ongoing war as premature and very inappropriate. Macron confirmed on Tuesday that France will host another summit about Ukraine on Wednesday. According to him, representatives of European and non -European countries will meet at this meeting.
