Actually Brazil North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries may consider sending troops to Ukraine’s war against Russia, former NATO Secretary General Anders Rasmussen said in an interview with British newspaper The Guardian. According to the former leader of the USled military alliance, this plan is gaining support, including in France. Rasmussen headed NATO between 2009 and 2014 and stated that the military alliance’s next summit, scheduled for July 11, should include discussion of Ukraine’s possible entry into the bloc on its agenda.

Current NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stressed that security guarantees for Ukraine will be discussed at the next Alliance summit, but defense guarantees against foreign aggression are provided only for full members of the military bloc.

“If NATO cannot agree on a clear path for Ukraine’s future, there is a clear possibility that some individual countries could act. We know that Poland is very interested in providing concrete assistance to Ukraine. And I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of Poland doing so.” “The plan will be further considered in this context at the national level and followed by the Baltic countries, possibly including the possibility of troops on the ground,” Rasmussen told The Guardian.

Also according to the English newspaper, Germany is opposed to the plan to send troops to the war for fear of the Russian reaction. “I think Poles would seriously consider stepping in and forming a coalition of volunteers if Ukraine fails in Vilnius.” [na cúpula da Otan]. “We must not underestimate Polish feelings. Poles feel that Western Europe has not listened to their warnings about the real Russian mentality for a long time,” said the former NATO Secretary General.
