BRUSSELS (AP) — European heavyweights Germany and Poland insist that they will not send troops to Ukraine. That’s after reports said some Western countries may be considering sending ground troops. NATO’s chief also says the U.S.-led military alliance has no plans to send troops to Ukraine. The Kremlin, meanwhile, warned of the “inevitability” of a direct conflict between NATO and Russia if the alliance sends them. French President Emmanuel Macron says that sending in Western troops should not be “ruled out” in the future. Slovakia’s prime minister says some countries are considering whether to do it.
