France to train up to 2,000 Ukrainian soldiers, defense minister says

Paris will train up to 2,000 Ukrainian soldiers in France, the French defense minister has said, as Kyiv battles Russian forces.

Ukrainian soldiers will soon be assigned to French units for several weeks, Sebastien Lecornu told the Le Parisien newspaper, according to Ukrainian state news agency Ukrinform.

Lecornu said the training will focus “on three levels: general combat training, training for specific needs reported by Ukraine, and training with the equipment provided.”

He said France will also supply Ukraine with Crotale air defense systems, which are used to intercept low-flying missiles and aircraft.
