France will start training the Ukrainian military without waiting for the start of a training mission under the auspices of the European Union
France will not wait for the launch of the European training mission to train the Ukrainian military and will start preparing the Armed Forces of Ukraine on its own. The French are reportedly planning to open a training camp in Poland.
Announced by the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, the training program for Ukrainian military personnel will still not start, its discussion is scheduled for October, but a number of European countries did not wait for the official start and opened their own training camps. We are talking about Spain and Denmark, now France wants to join them.
The French, unlike the Spaniards, are not going to take Ukrainians to their territory, the preparatory camp will be located on the territory of Poland. The opening dates are not exactly known yet, but everything will happen before the end of this year. The Ukrainian military will take a five-week course, which will be taught by French military instructors, it was not reported.

As noted, the French have experience in training the Ukrainian military. Previously, they had prepared crews of 155mm Caesar self-propelled howitzers handed over by Macron to Zelensky. In total, 150 Ukrainian artillerymen went through training, and some of the military instructors worked in Kyiv, and some in a military camp in France.
