Macron tries to 'please' US by talking of sending troops to Ukraine - Lavrov

Moscow, Mar 24 (UNI) Announcing the possible deployment of troops to Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron is trying to "please" the US leadership, as well as to provoke NATO allies, and his actions are not related to plans to create a "strategic autonomy" of Europe, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
"Now, if we take Macron and his insistence that 'it is possible that we will send ground troops to Ukraine' — this is no longer about 'strategic autonomy,' but about 'pleasing' the United States, at the same time provoking allies in the North Atlantic Alliance itself," Lavrov said in an interview released on Sunday for a "Belgrade" documentary dedicated to the 25th anniversary of NATO's aggression against Yugoslavia.
Current European leaders do not consider national interests a priority, binding them to "a unified collective Western demand," Lavrov added.
