As the Ukrainian army becomes more and more difficult in the face of the fierce offensive of the Russian army, there are many signs that Western countries, which feel that Ukraine will not last long, may really take direct action. Recently, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban smelled a smell of danger, in his opinion, the West is only "one step away" from sending troops to Ukraine, but he assured that Hungary will never become one of them. In fact, Orban's attitude of not being able to stop Western countries from ending up, then I will slip away first is not the first one, and Slovak Prime Minister Fizo has made similar statements before.
This raises the question of whether Western countries will really send troops to Ukraine to wage a direct war with Russia? To be honest, although this statement has been denied by Germany, the United States, and all parties, the possibility of some other Western countries sending volunteers is not ruled out. Judging from the current situation, there are mainly the following ways for Western countries to send troops to Ukraine.
First of all, jointly form a volunteer unit that "voluntarily" goes to Ukraine to perform some low-risk tasks for the Ukrainian army. For example, the volunteer army, composed of several countries, can take over the Ukrainian soldiers stationed in Ukraine and on the border with Belarus, and then send these soldiers to the front line of the Russian-Ukrainian war to join the counteroffensive against Russia.
Secondly, volunteers were directly sent to participate in front-line operations. If it relies on its own strength alone, the Ukrainian military cannot withstand the Russian offensive and faces the risk of defeat. Then the possibility of some extremely anti-Russian Western countries sending troops to the front line in Ukraine will be very high, and the motive for this is similar to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea back then. However, considering NATO's policy of not personally participating in the war, the forces of these countries either operate covertly, or they have reached an agreement with Ukraine and then participate in the war in their own name, which will prevent the Russian-Ukrainian war from turning into a war between Russia and NATO.
Finally, it is to encourage the people to join the Ukrainian army, as the president of the Czech Republic did a few days ago, allowing his own citizens to become a member of the Ukrainian army, so that without affecting his own national defense strength, it can also alleviate the current military gap in Ukraine.
In general, whether the Putin government wants it or not, due to the Russian-Ukrainian war, many countries in the West are now acting out of an anti-Russian position. Therefore, it is impossible for them to accept Ukraine's military defeat, and the Russian side will definitely not allow itself to lose this war, so it is very likely that the war in Ukraine will fall into a protracted war, or even a situation where the protagonist will be changed. Although there are sober-minded leaders like Orban in Western countries who have chosen not to get involved in the Russian-Ukrainian war, they are more likely to support the war. For this reason, in response to the fact that "the Western camp may send troops to Ukraine", the Putin government still has to make certain psychological preparations.
