British Foreign Minister David Cameron opposed sending allied troops to Ukraine "even for training missions."
Britain is against Macron's idea of introducing troops into Ukraine
Britain is against sending Western troops to the territory of Ukraine, even to train Ukrainian soldiers, because they will become a "target" for Russia.
British Foreign Minister David Cameron said this in an interview with Sueddeutsche Zeitung .
The British minister answered questions about the attitude to the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine. Cameron believes that this will turn the Western military into a "target" for the Russian army.
We must avoid creating obvious targets for Putin.

As for training missions on the territory of Ukraine, in Cameron's opinion, it is better to conduct them abroad.
It is better to conduct training missions outside the country. In Britain, we trained 60,000 Ukrainian soldiers.
Macron's idea about troops in Ukraine
At the end of February this year, French President Emmanuel Macron did not rule out sending Western troops to help Ukraine. And the other day, the French president told under what conditions he is ready to send French troops to Ukraine.
A number of NATO countries opposed sending troops to Ukraine, in particular, Germany, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Spain and Italy. But there are countries that are ready to consider such a possibility, for example, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
Canada, which is also a member of NATO, declared that it is ready to send troops to Ukraine, but only to train Ukrainian defenders in the territory far from the front.
According to Politico, France is currently gathering an alliance of countries that are open to sending troops to the territory of Ukraine. For example, for demining territories.
