According to an adviser to the Minister of Defense, French President Emmanuel Macron wants to remain a "balancing force" during Russiaʼs war against Ukraine.

"Emmanuel Macron was very clear — Ukraine will win and must win, but Russia cannot be humiliated. Our line is to show our solidarity with Ukraine and help it achieve victory — but if not, to be able to play a role when the conflict ends," said Sébastien Lecornu.

He hinted that other "specialized" French-led training could take place in secret.

“The United Kingdom has decided to go ahead with basic training. We provide more specialized training. Weʼre not going to tell you everything we do," the adviser said.
