The Ukrainian military studied with the instructors of the French Operations Group "Champagne" effectively interact on the battlefield and use weapons that France will provide for confrontation between Russia. The training lasted two months in the east and south of the European country, and now more than 2,000 prepared Ukrainian soldiers undergo the last meeting before returning to the Russian-Ukrainian Front at a critical moment of the war, journalists write.

It is noted that after the full deployment of the Brigade "Anna Kyivska" will consist of 4,500 fighters, including infantrymen, engineers, artillery teams and other specialists. Most of them were recently mobilized and have only passed a few weeks of basic training before arriving in September this year, the French soldiers say.

The arsenal of the brigade will consist of 18 light tanks AMX 10, 18 CAESAR artillery installations installed on trucks, 128 armored personnel carriers, anti-tank and anti-aircraft missile complexes and other weapons. France provided about 1,500 of their soldiers to teach Ukrainians. In them, Ukrainian fighters learned to protect and storm trenches similar to those on the Russian-Ukrainian front.

French officers said that in two months Ukrainian soldiers gained considerable experience and ready for battle, the authors of the material reported. "Now they are able to fight, they are able to maneuver. They can attract different specialists and use different equipment that they will have on the battlefield," said Colonel Paul. Journalists are not called his name for security reasons. It should be noted that the Ukrainian brigade was named after Anna Yaroslavna, who became the Queen of France.

We will remind, President of France Emanuel Macron published staff of the training of the Ukrainian brigade "Anna Kyivska" on October 9. Macron noted that 2,300 Ukrainian fighters were training in the eastern region of France Grand-Nest. In addition, on Tuesday, November 12, the media reported that the first volunteers of the Ukrainian Legion signed contracts with the Armed Forces in Poland.
