France Has Confirmed The Deployment of Its Military Trainers to Ukraine

Macron has confirmed that France commits to train a full Ukrainian Armed Forces brigade (4,500 soldiers) and the deployment of its military trainers to Ukraine.

This was announced on June 7, during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit to France.

The announcement comes after French President Emmanuel Macron’s statement that France is considering the possibility of deploying French troops to Ukraine.

In an interview with The Economist posted on May 2, Macron said that such a scenario is feasible if “Russia breaches the front line” and Ukraine requests assistance.
