"Global Tensions Rise as NATO Considers Troop Deployment in Ukraine"

NATO leaders rejected a proposal by French President Macron to have Western troops fight alongside Ukrainian forces against Russian invasion, as Russian forces continue to advance in Ukraine. The US support for Ukraine has waned, with a stalled $60 billion aid package and a shift from "as long as it takes" to "as long as we can." While some European leaders expressed reluctance, Slovakian Prime Minister mentioned that some countries are considering sending troops to Ukraine. The proposal received a warm welcome in Kyiv, but the US is not eager to see European troops in Ukraine.
