Several European countries, including France, Finland, and Canada, are considering or open to sending military personnel to Ukraine for non-combat roles such as training Ukrainian troops or providing air defense systems. French President Macron and Finnish Defense Minister Hakkanen have expressed support for potential deployments, while Canadian Defense Minister Blair emphasized a non-combat role for Canadian forces. These actions are seen as creating strategic dilemmas for Russia and supporting Ukraine without direct combat involvement.
