Yes, but those boots on the ground won’t be fighting Russians. They’ll stay in the West of Ukraine, so that those Ukrainian soldiers get sent to the frontlines.
But that’s what I’m saying, there aren’t many troops left to send from west of Ukraine.
Iirc they even stripped everything from all other borders leaving only skeleton crew, despite constantly fearmongering about Russian troops attacking from Transnistria or Belarus.
Indeed, and apparently they’ve been stripping the border guard down even more recently because they need troops to stop the collapse that’s unfolding. The west sending a few thousand troops wouldn’t make any difference. It would have to be in hundreds of thousands to actually matter.
