World 13:45 07.06.2024

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced his ambitious proposal to establish a "French brigade" consisting of 4,500 soldiers in Ukraine, as reported by Ednews citing "The Guardian". This declaration was made on the occasion of the 79th anniversary of the liberation of Normandy from occupation in the United States.

Macron emphasized France's commitment to supporting Ukraine by providing training and equipment for the proposed brigade. He stated, "France will undertake training and clothing for 4,500 Ukrainian soldiers," underscoring the importance of bolstering Ukraine's defense capabilities.

Despite advocating for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine through negotiations, Macron acknowledged the ongoing threat posed by Russian aggression. He asserted that while the pursuit of peace remains paramount, the current situation necessitates concrete actions, as Russia continues its advances in the region.

In addition to the formation of the "French brigade," France intends to contribute to Ukraine's defense by supplying Mirage-2000 fighters, further strengthening the nation's military capabilities.

Macron's announcement signals France's steadfast support for Ukraine amidst escalating tensions in the region, underscoring the nation's commitment to upholding stability and security in Europe.
