PARIS, Feb 26 (Reuters) - France's President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday there was no consensus on sending troops to Ukraine, but the subject could not be ruled out.
"There is no consensus at this stage... to send troops on the ground," Macron said after hosting some 20 countries allied to Ukraine.
"Nothing should be excluded. We will do everything that we must so that Russia does not win."
Saved you a click. Yes, that's it. That's the entire "article". A total of 4 sentences. What exactly was the point of writing such a short article?
@malijaffri Really, though. Reuters is and has always been a tiny bite of news wire service - - meaning that what they do is limited to snippets of pertinent information that could be easily transmitted over a telegraph wire in old timey days.
They've stuck to that style since forever. The idea is to get the base of the story out quickly and succinctly, and honestly, how much more do you really require, here? It's a pretty straightforward quote, with no written plans in place, but... Newsworthy.
