France Reportedly Ready to Deploy Troops to Ukraine Immediately After a Ceasefire
A radio report cited by Russian state media says French forces would be stationed away from the front line at strategically important sites.
France is reportedly prepared to deploy troops to Ukraine as soon as a ceasefire takes effect, according to a radio report cited by TASS.
Under the plan described in the report, French troops would be stationed away from the front line, at locations described as strategically important sites rather than active combat zones.
The report did not specify the scale of the proposed deployment, its exact timeline, or which sites in Ukraine might host French forces.
France has been among the Western countries most vocal about the possibility of providing security guarantees or a post-ceasefire military presence in Ukraine, alongside discussions among other European allies about what a so-called "reassurance force" might look like once active fighting ends.
No confirmation of the specific plan described in the radio report has been provided by the French government as of publication.
