Led by the UK and France, a large army of 30,000 troops is heading to Ukraine for battle. Why do they insist on going despite knowing the risks?

Despite knowing it is a suicide mission, the UK Defense Minister still issued the order to send troops to Ukraine. British and French special forces are surrounded on the battlefield, so why are more than 20 countries sending 30,000 troops into Ukraine?

According to the latest information, the largest batch of military aid to Ukraine in 2025 will begin arriving in June. At least 49 M1A1 tanks and 400 M-113 armored vehicles are enough to equip an armored division. The ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine conflict is imminent. In theory, this is the time for Western countries like the US and Europe to withdraw mercenaries and military advisors. However, countries like the UK and France are doing the opposite. It has been reported that UK Defense Minister John Healey has clearly ordered the UK Combat Command Center to require UK special forces to enter Ukraine for combat. It is reported that five UK special force units are preparing to enter Ukraine or have already entered Ukraine.

In previous battles, Russian forces have killed multiple British special forces by bombing Western mercenary or military advisor bases. Besides British special forces, France has also sent special forces to Ukraine and is the most active force supporting Ukraine. They know that sending special forces into Ukraine is essentially a suicide mission, so why do they insist on sending them? In fact, the UK and France want to take on the role of leaders in Europe through such actions, taking over as the dominant power when the US withdraws.

It is reported that under the leadership of the UK and France, more than 20 Western countries have formed a 30,000-strong army to prepare to advance into Ukraine. NATO military advisors were surrounded in Kursk, and Trump personally intervened to seek help. More than 30 NATO officers' lives are at stake, so why are these 20-plus countries still eager to send troops to Ukraine? In fact, the possibility of these 30,000 troops from more than 20 countries entering Ukraine is low. However, their attitude and preparations reflect their fundamental purpose of bargaining in strategic games.
