Ukraine's top commander said on Monday he had signed paperwork allowing French military instructors to visit Ukrainian training centres soon.
"I am pleased to welcome France's initiative to send instructors to Ukraine to train Ukrainian servicemen," Oleksandr Syrskyi said on the Telegram messaging app after talks via video link with French defence minister Sebastien Lecornu.
"I have already signed the documents that will enable the first French instructors to visit our training centres shortly and familiarize themselves with their infrastructure and personnel."
Syrskyi gave no further details but said he believed that France's determination would encourage other partners to join this "ambitious project".
French President Emmanuel Macron has opened the door to sending troops to Ukraine and at a conference in Paris on Feb. 26 suggested that one area Western troops could help with would be to train Ukrainians in Ukraine.

It’s time to kick France out of NATO. They are NOT going to drag us into WWIII.

NATO is pretty much in a bind regarding the training of what’s left of Ukrainian men - if they bring them to Europe, they simple walk away as they’re not nearly stupid enough to want to fight Russia...so the people who want to train them can now only do that inside of Ukraine, where the men are trapped.

Hopefully they get located and wiped out with missiles. Working with globohomo nazism is inexcusable. But I suppose it is French to support nazis.

JFK didn’t get us into a war there until 1963, it was hardly France’s doing.

Truman sent advisors in 1950 and Eisenhower kept them there, we always had advisors there which is never a problem, the problem was JFK shipping thousands of troops in, over 16,000 and getting immersed in the government.

At this point, after a few years of war, shouldn’t the Uke’s be training the French?
