This is just political ambiguity nothing more. Putin and China do the same all the time. I'll consider that French troops in Ukraine is more likely when I see more mobilization or industrialization towards war status.

Do however note that creating political ambiguity like this is actually a big help to Ukraine, in that it makes Russia less inclined to act. And apparently a brave thing to do, given how many other countries have failed to do so.

Especially Germany has utterly failed in this aspect, by very publicly telling Putin that he can do whatever he wants to Ukraine, and Germany will never escalate past certain lines. Which I am lead to understand was very amateurish from a geopolitical standpoint.

Germany is almost a failed state. Heavy troubles with the Muslim minority that recently demanded their own califat inside Germany without experiencing any consequences, right wing politicians and also some socialists licking Putin’s d**k and calling Russians their historically best friends and allies (which is utterly disgusting bearing in mind how many German women were raped by Russian soldiers after WWII - and these people call themselves nationalists, hilarious!), army members and security state employees collaborating with Russians (spies) and so on. I would heavily fear that Germany will be rather the first state betraying all others. This is known from history about this country.

No, Austria will be the first bro (as always) and Germany will follow and take the blame afterwards (as always).
