"NATO Disarray: Foreign Troops in Ukraine and Kremlin Warnings"

Russian officials are relishing the division in NATO after French President Macron's suggestion of deploying Western ground troops in Ukraine was widely rejected by NATO member countries. The Kremlin warned that such a move would lead to conflict between NATO and Russia, while Russian state-run media has been dominated by officials relishing the obvious division in NATO. Macron's comments have been criticized by Russian officials, and analysts have described them as a gift to the Kremlin, with concerns that they could be exploited by Russia's propaganda machine. France has sought to clarify its position, emphasizing the need to avoid escalation and stating that it is not at war with the Russian people.
