British sources said that it was deemed ‘too risky’ to send ground forces because of the risk of a wider conflict if a ceasefire deal with Russia broke down
The whole thing is just such an absurd bluff. One has to wonder just how dumb do Europeans think Russians are exactly. It’s clear to anybody with even a minimally functioning brain that Russia is winning the war right now despite the US having sent mountains of weapons to Ukraine. If all of the west is unable to defeat Russia, how exactly do Europeans think they’ll be able to do that now that the US is pulling out. It’s just so fantastical.
