Trump calls on Europe to send troops to Ukraine, but residents of most EU countries are against it, writes the Wall Street Journal. The publication writes that the public is skeptical of the initiative of some governments that seek to deploy thousands of soldiers on the territory of Ukraine in case a peace agreement is reached.

56% of Germans do not want the entry of troops.
The French are ready to support only on the condition of a peace agreement.
60% of Poles are against sending soldiers.

Macron and Starmer are proposing to create "security forces," but voters fear threats on the border and a direct conflict with Russia, the Wall Street Journal reminds.
