UK FM Reiterates No NATO Boots On Ground

The United Kingdom's Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs Lord Cameron has restated the UK gov'ts position that there will be no NATO troops on the ground in Ukraine. Speaking to the BBC at the NATO foreign ministers' summit in Brussels, Cameron saidthat “What Nato is looking at is a Nato mission for Ukraine, not a Nato mission in Ukraine,” and when asked directly whether he could see NATO troops in Ukraine said “No. I think that we don’t want to give [Vladimir] Putin a target like that, and Nato can do lots of things to better coordinate the help we give to Ukraine.”

  • The comments come as the WSJ published a lengthy articleon 3 April examining French President Emmanuel Macron's efforts to push NATO allies towards a stance where they adopt a position of 'strategic ambiguity' with regards to NATO troops in Ukraine. Macron has argued that by not ruling out the prospect of foreign troops assisting Ukraine in-country (even if they are not on the frontlines), it would both aid Ukraine's war effort and give Putin pause for thought in his campaign of missile strikes on Ukrainian cities.
  • Macron's call for this shift have fallen largely on deaf ears, with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz rejecting the plan outright (further entrenching a long-running Franco-German political schism), while the US has urged NATO to focus on areas where there is agreement.
