Instead, they would be\u00a0stationed farther back at\u00a0strategic locations, with a\u00a0mission focused on\u00a0training, equipping and rebuilding the Ukrainian army.<\/p>\n<p>The possible deployment is\u00a0being discussed within the framework of\u00a0the so-called Coalition of\u00a0the Willing, which is\u00a0considering further support for Kiev. Other European countries could join France and send their own troops.<\/p>\n<p>It\u00a0remains unclear how many personnel European governments would be\u00a0prepared to\u00a0deploy. The contingent could number several thousand troops.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, French Army Chief of\u00a0Staff Pierre Schill said Paris could send up\u00a0to\u00a07,000 troops abroad. According to\u00a0him, such a\u00a0force could be\u00a0deployed to\u00a0Ukrainian territory within five days.<\/p>\n<p>Moscow opposes the deployment of\u00a0NATO military personnel in\u00a0Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly said that the introduction of\u00a0European troops would amount to\u00a0a\u00a0direct military confrontation with Russia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"France is prepared to deploy troops to Ukraine after a ceasefire, with forces expected to train, equip and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6979,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[187],"class_list":["post-6978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-global-conflict","tag-ceasefire"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@conflicts\/117328785119633733","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/conflicts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6978","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/conflicts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/conflicts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/conflicts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/conflicts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6978"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/conflicts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6978\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/conflicts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/conflicts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/conflicts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/conflicts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
