France may announce sending instructors to Ukraine next week, Reuters reports.


According to diplomatic sources, Paris plans to organize and lead a coalition of countries that will offer assistance to Kyiv in military operations, despite the resistance of some European Union partners to a possible conflict with Russia.


Initially, France will send a limited group of personnel to assess the situation, followed by several hundred instructors.


The training will focus on demining, equipment maintenance, and military aviation skills.


In addition, France will finance, arm, and train the Ukrainian motorized brigade.


One of the sources confirms that the arrangements are very advanced and an announcement can be expected next week.
