Alliance officials, including Supreme Allied Commander Europe General Alexus Grynkewich, discussed options such as air and naval support, but ruled out deploying ground troops. President Donald Trump and Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz both said their countries would not send soldiers to Ukraine, though Poland pledged logistical backing. Analysts warn that even a force of 50,000 would not deter Russia, while Kyiv has said as many as 200,000 troops might be needed. Moscow has rejected any plan that includes NATO forces on Ukrainian soil.
