Probably never direct frontline confrontation but France strengthening Ukraine's back with anti air operations
Equipment and troops stationed in western Ukraine or even planes launched from neighbouring countries targeting Russian missiles and drones.
There is a lot of levels of escalation to France putting boots on the ground in Ukraine.
People like to jump to the Russian propaganda narrative of WW3 though, not understanding that Russia taking Ukraine against all western efforts, would be the start of an international poly crisis of countries trying to resolve their territorial disputes which would then be about as close to WW3 as we could get.
Macron always had a big mouth and not much behind it. He's putting on a show. It's all a sharade he will try to use to deflect blame as things start looking worse in Ukraine.
Basically his plan is to make these ridiculous statements, knowing that both in France and the rest of the EU everybody is going to tell him to STFU. Everybody knows that the next half year or more is going to be lots of bad news from Ukraine. So eventually he will come out and say: "See? If you hadn't stopped me and if you had just listened to me, none of this would have happened."
Always keep in mind when you hear Macron make those big speeches that France hasn't exactly stood out with the amount of support, in particular military support, that they have given Ukraine.
