French public opinion shows strong support for sending troops to Ukraine

A majority of French people, excluding the far-right, perceive Russia as a real threat and support sending troops to Ukraine. An Ifop poll indicates strong French awareness of the Russian threat to EU sovereignty and support for robust security guarantees for Ukraine post-ceasefire. This sentiment aligns with President Macron's stance and reflects a clear-eyed view of the situation, according to Gilles Finchelstein.
