France is reportedly preparing to deploy 2,000 troops to Ukraine amidst escalating tensions, with discussions and preparations being openly discussed in French media and by military officials. French Chief of Staff General Pierre Schille stated the French army is ready for the 'toughest' engagements, highlighting the seriousness of France's commitment. French media, including a segment with Lieutenant-Colonel Vincent Arbaretier, is actively discussing potential deployment locations, including areas near the Belarus border, and the types of military operations French troops could undertake. A European military mission led by France to regions of Ukraine bordering Belarus is being considered to relieve Ukrainian forces there. Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Alexey Goncharenko, mentioned communication with French colleagues about this possibility. Additionally, France could engage up to 20,000 troops within 30 days if needed, as stated by the Chief of Staff of the French Army, Pierre Schill. This move by France has sparked discussions about the implications of direct conflict with Russia and the potential for escalation.
