French President Emmanuel Macron announced his readiness to send his instructors to Ukraine. Later, information also appeared that he was ready to present a plan for their deployment in Ukraine.

The media write that France may soon send military instructors to Ukraine, despite concerns from some allies and criticism from Russia. A decision could be announced as early as next week.

Initially there will be a limited number of staff

The decision may be timed to coincide with the visit of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.

According to diplomats, Paris hopes to lead a coalition of countries that will offer such assistance to Kyiv. France is committed to this even as some of its European Union partners fear it could make direct conflict with Russia more likely.

Two French diplomats said that France would first send a limited number of personnel to assess the feasibility of the mission and then send several hundred trainers. Training will focus on mine clearance, equipment maintenance and technical expertise for military aircraft.

Paris will also fund, arm and train a Ukrainian motorized brigade. Sources also note that the agreements are very “advanced.”
