He highlighted the example of Germany, which offered helmets and sleeping bags to Kyiv at the outset of the conflict and is now saying more needs to be done to supply the country with missiles and tanks.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">            \u201cThe people that said \u2018never ever\u2019 today were the same ones who said never ever planes, never ever long-range missiles, never ever trucks. They said all that two years ago,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have to be humble and realize that we (have) always been six to eight months late.\u201d    <\/p>\n\n<div>This post appeared first on cnn.com<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>French President Emmanuel Macron openly discussed the possibility of sending European troops to Ukraine to help Kyiv win the war against Russia, a potential major escalation to the largest ground war Europe has seen since World War II.
