French President Emmanuel Macron said Monday that sending Western troops on the ground in Ukraine is not “ruled out” in the future after the issue was debated at a gathering if European leaders, as Russia’s full-scale invasion grinds into a third year.

The French leader said at the meeting of 20 European heads of state and other Western officials in Paris that “we will do everything needed so Russia cannot win the war.”

“There’s no consensus today to send in an official, endorsed manner troops on the ground. But in terms of dynamics, nothing can be ruled out,” Macron said in a news conference.

Western troops on Russian soil is not ruled out, mfers

... Yeah, it pretty much is, and I say this as someone that fervently believes attacking a prospective member is an attack on the alliance itself and NATO should have, at an absolute minimum, established a no fly zone over all of Ukraine, including their occupied territory in Crimea, and a blockade of all Russian ports.

The soil of a major nuclear power is sovereign, period. You can not risk it, period. You can argue that you can meet an invasion force of theirs in the field, but the moment you go beyond their borders you're playing a game that isn't worth it, for anything.
