Not Putin's signal, but specific actions: People's Deputy explained the Macron's decision on the French Army in Ukraine

The French soldiers will not fight in Ukraine, but will deal with the training of the fighters of defense forces, air defense, demining, cybersex, said Alexei Goncharenko. In France, the military is considering President Emmanuel Macron's plan on the presence of the French army in Ukraine. The People's Deputy of Ukraine Alexei Goncharenko told about it "Espresso".

"This is already practically developed by the French military, with the participation of Ukrainian and military countries that can become members of the coalition. After all, Macron is looking for allies to be involved not only by the French. Poland, some Baltic and Scandinavian countries express their readiness to join this . The topic has already come out of the stage of thoughts, political statements or ideas, "he said.

He noted that during his stay in France, he is now promoting Ukrainian interest. "This is a real sensational story. Macron has decided to create a French military contingent that appeared in Ukraine if Ukraine will support it," he said. He added that the French military will not fight in Ukraine, but will be constantly engaged in the training of Ukrainian military, air defense, mine, cybersecurity. "Now possible formats are determined. There are two approaches yet.

The first is the creation of such a certain actual military base in which there will be a French military presence, or these will be groups of French military in different places and in different directions that will perform the appropriate functions. It can only be thanked. It is no longer a signal of Putin, but specific actions to stop Putin, "he added. Recall that French President Emmanuel Macron during a summit in Paris, on February 26, allowed the introduction of Western troops into Ukraine.

In the case of such a decision, these soldiers will not participate in the fighting. On March 4, French President said that he would not send his troops to Ukraine in the near future. The head of the state rejected the possibility of escalation, but emphasized the need for discussion on the presence of a foreign contingent in Ukraine. The hypothesis of sending combat troops to Ukraine was not "put on the table" on March 8, the French Minister of Defense Sebastian Lecorton said.
