The commander of the Ukrainian armed forces announced that France is sending its instructors to Ukraine to train Ukrainian soldiers. This is the first time such a mission has been publicly announced. Logically, this decision should have been announced by a French representative.

Slava Ukraini! Bye!
The Danish foreign minister was asked if Ukraine would be allowed to use them (F16 included) on Russian territory, and he said "once we have given them the weapons, we do not control what they are used for"
Bravo Denmark!
But i think they have to loof what the US have to say to it, because F16 are US weapons. I hopfe the US will allow the use to attack military targets. Russia is hiding his troops on the russian land, thats shows the cunning of the regime in Moskau.
Smart
The F16 is made in the US. The way it works, they have the right to say where they are used.
Good on the Danish Foreign Minister for the correct answer!
The Legion DOES NOT FUCK AROUND.
you are right - they are tough
You're deffo not wrong there
You are absolutely correct because they get blown up by the Russians.
A Platoon of their guys from the 3rd Parachute Regiment used to stop by the mine I worked at in Central Africa about once per month for a day of rest and refit. Laundry, real porcelain, showers and chow. They are really serious dudes because they all WANT to be there. The Africans are scared to death of them even though they were there to protect them from bandits, rebels and poachers from Chad and Sudan LOL.
I thought they caused the Vietnam war no ?
If Ruzzia thinks it's entitled to be in Ukraine, other countries can be there too! Simple s that.

The famous French Foreign Legion soldier's are from all nations on Earth not just France.
Half are French, any way, once you're in, you are Légion, you don't even swear allegiance to France, you swear allegiance to the Légion and, usually, after 3 years, you also get French nationality (if you want) and eventually a new identity if needed... Some criminals sign in, thus, murderers are not accepted.
Neither are sex offender’s
Since 2010 you can enroll with your true identity and benefit from citizenship, you still have to pledge allegiance to the Legion. Not the president... And that's alright 😂
They became French after their 5 years contract by receiving French passport
That’s great to know
You just elevated yourself by clarifying a misstatement. Keep your integrity no matter what
💯 percent.
But he is again making a mistake, France has not sent troops to Ukraine, has not agreed to do so, and there weren't even conversations around it. The talks were about trainers, and Sirskiy yestersday said he signed a document which gave permission to those trainers to go to Ukraine, Permission.
@apokkalyps6 It's really difficult to be spot on when there is so much static and misinformation around. I think most of us are OK with some degree of it as long as every effort is made to be as accurate as possible and retractions are issued promptly.
France putting instructors on the ground in Ukraine could help bolster support for more air defense from France to keep them safe.
That was my initial reaction as well, they will make a major effort to protect training grounds and personnel
You’re a true HERO, Artur!! Love it when someone as smart and perceptive as you realizes a mistake and owns up to it, and corrects. That’s what good leaders (and good soldiers!) do! Hats off, brother!!! Keep up your excellent work!!
1980 escaped USSR from then Czechoslovakia, Prague and enlisted in the French Foreign Legion serving 82 to 97. Now 60 retired in Bulgaria 🇧🇬. I am still far more fit than a man in his 20’s and train everyday.
Have dreamed of legionnaires taking Russia to task for my lifetime. ❤
You've lived an awesome life.
Great job on your physical health. Now take care of your mental health.
You played your part Sir, and still could by the sound of it!
@@micheldriessen5081 Do you know him? What could you know about his mental health. Russia gov. has hurt a lot of people in just the last few years. I'm American and I'd like to see them liberated from Putin and his blood suckers.
You should train your brain as well
Thanks Artur for your great reporting. 🙏🇺🇦💙💛💕❤️🇨🇦
Understanding that Ukraine is depending on improved logistics and continual logistics, supporting Ukraine, such as countries delivering food to Ukraine, and also lethal weapons that they can use in the war against Russia. It’s all very important.
Rarely am I proud to be 🇬🇧
We must do all we can for 🇺🇦
No need for apology bro.... England loves wat u do, England will never let Ukraine down we have been through this ourselves.... keep it up Artur 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 🇪🇪 🤝
yes, indeed you have !
Thank goodness for Pearl Harbor. Americans still remembered WWI and were not keen on the next one. After the waste in Iraq and Afghanistan, some Americans are once bitten twice shy. I get it. But this is different than Dubya and Cheyney wars. "They threatened muh dad and have WMDs" won't cut it.
what? england was a colonial empire and in 1812 you tried bullying america into submission after our revolution. yall even captured americans and forced them into the royal navy
Never thought I would be saying this, but: "Vive la France!" 👍👍
Fool, it's gonna end in nuclear war and billions dead. Russia gave up 23 million in WW2 what are you willing to give up?
i am from the netherlands and i am greatfull to all countries that help ukraine, it's not about which country does more. it's about making sure together that ukraine does not lose. and that the international law is the outcome.
Believe me brother in less than a decade you will regret these words. Win or lose Ukraine will only prove to be a hinder on the nato alliance and once their outrageous and cynical corruption comes to light regarding how they resold the weapons that they begged the west for (weapons that you, myself and everyone of us western fools paid for with our tax money instead of taking care of our homeless vets and our citizens in need of our help). To add insult to injury Ukraine did a magic trick with the cash received from these weapons and simply made it disappear meaning it was stolen and those funds were not used for the war effort. Considering that they’re not even paying the foreign legionaries what they had promised them even turning their back on the fallen legionaries who were promised $400k for their families in case they were to fall in battle. According to reports of the fallen legionaries comrades and family members none of the families of the fallen have received a penny and to make it worse the bodies of their loved ones are not being sent back for burial in their nation they simply throw them in a communal grave in Ukraine on the other side of the world. Many of these grieving families cannot afford to travel to Ukraine and most likely will never be able to pay their final respects to their loved ones. My remarks and criticism is directed at the Ukrainian government &leadership and not the Ukrainian people themselves.
You are so right... I do not like it, when our government always claims: 'We did most...'
A friend of mine is a mother of seven kids. She uses to say: ''If it is one child or seven - it`s always 100%''.
Russian speaking Ukrainians are also grateful, right?? !!!!
From the UK ✌ thank you Artur for updating.
I support Ukraine until the end however long that takes.
I also won't support a government in the UK that won't support Ukraine.
Stay strong Ukrainian people you are definitely not alone.
Not just England either Artur, us Scottish love Ukraine ❤
Thank you so lot France, love so much from karachi sindh 🇺🇦

I am an evangelical from Tennessee praying for Putin. zelensky is a leftist and Putin is on the right. Putin passed laws protecting children from trans ed and other conservative laws, and he believes in Jesus, this makes him a right leaning conservative.

we all make mistakes

RuSSia made sure Ukraine could not build up any military forces or equipment. If you don't understand the above sentence, you need a history lesson how ruSSia works on "friends and neighbors "
It’s fine you don’t have to apologise, I think we mention it because we are proud of it and are really behind Ukraine, sometimes because we are a small island we often get forgotten or just looked over
ARTUR.. I CAN TELL you are as ethical as Professor Gerdes... you both CAN'T WAIT to make note of your mistakes..no matter how minor or you missing some shifting sands for an hour. Feeling guilty for mistakes is an endearing quality. And clearing the guilt away publicly is STANDING REAL TALL.

So excited that the French Foreign Legion is in Ukraine! Bravo France and President Macron! Bravo French Foreign Legion! Slava Ukraini!
The Foreign legion was not formed when the French allied with America, and most are not French! They are Foreign mercenaries, well trained, professional, that earn their French citizenship after their sevice!

Thank you France, Macron.

I remember how Macron begged Putler to reconsider stopping the war. Now he doesn't look like a boy bowing in front of long tabled Vladolph Putler but a real decisive political leader.

I was one of those who called you out on the UK allowing its weapons to be used, but the Baltic states have balls of steel for allowing their’s to be 👍🏼
Artur, your humility and willingness to make an immediate correction is why so many of us around the globe consider you a first-rate, top-tier credible source! Your hard work and attention to detail is appreciated! 🙄👏😎
Canada also has sent equipment for use in the conflict. As I understand it, there were never any restrictions about where they can be used.
Macron you have saved the honor of France. You alone. I was in WW2 I am very old but still have my marbles. We had many French troops there in UK then, they had no time for De/Gaule

According to them, Scholz’s political party, the SPD, may be in the pocket of Russia and China.
In his case it will take the WEF to give him the order
Germany 🇩🇪 is the second largest contributing country after the United States 🇺🇸
@@stevenmarcouillier3177 Yeah maybe now, but a 12 month delay after invasion started when they contributed hardly anything and if UK and others had not been sending weapons than getting Russia out of the whole of Ukraine would now be an impossible job... Germany dithered while Ukraine burned, and even now they will not send long range missiles...
@@stevenmarcouillier3177 In terms of percentage of GDP, USA is way down the list
Alright then France, as a Brit, you have done the first step here and will put boots on the Ukrainian land to assist. I didn't wanna say it but it has to be said.
Proud of ya.
I know it is out of the hands of the masses of the French population, but in my eyes, you are readying up for the potential worst outcomes of this "contained" war.
As an old rival but a modern friend, you have my respect, and you have one up'd Britain by this move, and I don't mean to slide a "but" out of my pocket for the sake of trying to appear better, but the weapon usage agreement isn't the same yet, UK allows it but France doesn't but you are still doing grand.
Edit: yes yes, we have plenty of European instructors and such in Ukraine right now, but hush hush 🤫😅. Official statements and such cause more attention
Don't be so sure, strong rumours of UK forces operating missile systems in Ukraine at the moment.

Who drove them out of Niger?
@@JanezMencinger-jx6lwThat would be the politicians. Nice try bot! 😂
La Legion are good troops, but politicians can still screw them by limiting their operational engagement rules.
Just look at Afghanistan where coalition ROE would only permit our troops to fire at targets that they had positively identified as firing at them. Meanwhile a tribesman sat against a compound wall, holding an AK and a radio would not be a legitimate target yet that radio could direct an ambush or trigger an IED.
That's providing the troops are even permitted to take sufficient weaponry to defend themselves properly. Would a Legion convoy have its own anti air/missile/drone weaponry or would they have to make do with Legionnaires' rifles and machine guns?
It's not happening yet.
They are far from who they used to be.
Ty Artur, your videos are great
Brilliant..viv le France
Respect for always allowing yourself to be educated and not stubborn.. also respect for always admitting your mistakes when you are wrong, not all people are like you 🙏🏻 SLAVA Ukraine
No need to apologise artur. We are all in this together 👍
The Netherlands allowing weaponry in Russian territory, I wonder if that includes the 20+ F16's Ukraine is soon getting...
Probably, but that is a sure way to reduce that number fast.
F16 isn't a stealth jet.
The weapons that the F16 carries on the other hand, those could be shot from inside Ukraine, and enter Russia yeah
I had the same insight...
It does not matter if it would be the best F16 or a su27 all are vulnerable stealth or not.
Hello Artur! Thanks & Slava Ukraiini 🇺🇦🌻 and God bless Estonia! ❤
My uncle was in la legion after he helped to free Croatia. He returned after 6 years and told me: la legion is "small" but it's the most dangerous group of people walking the soil of earth, now make me a coffee 😂
The Germans used to be arrogant and cocky towards their eastern neighbors. Today, Chancellor Scholz hides behind our neighbors like a scaredy cat and doesn't do anything without the Americans. This is absolutely embarrassing. Next year this man will be voted out.
I agree with you 100%
The man is an absolute embarrassment. We couldn't have a worse leader almost, at this time.
I can't wait for his official reaction to the Foreign Legion thing. So far, there's nothing in the news ...
Germany (including SPD)has been infiltrated with Russian agents for years
Scholz has been dragged kicking and screaming at every stage, to every decision, the man is incapable of making a decision on his own.
He is literally Germany's Chamberlain and the sooner the Germans vote him out the better for all of us!
Definitiv!!
Having worked with legionaries, I wouldn’t be surprised if they do their instructing on the frontlines.
Thank goodness
I love surprise. Am I going to fight a few guys in a unit or fighting a fighter jet? Don't tell me, just let me see it in the morning. 😂
@@jamesmichaeljean7840so what were they
Maybe Poland and other European countries will begin defending the sky's over Western Ukraine. If these countries deny Russia and Belarus airspace into Western and Central Ukraine, it will have a huge impact on Ukraine's ability to concentrate on the Eastern areas.
Well pointed out 🙂
The plural of "sky" is "skies."
Oh wow ! way to blow my mind ! I made a comment about the French Foreign Legion getting involved in this way back when and here they are ! I KNEW IT ! This is exactly why they exist . To get out there and put down any and all a-holes that cause trouble, in the immortal words of Mr. T "I pity the fool !"
they arent in ukraine.
Glad to see you on the platform again Arthur ❤
Even if these French instructors only instruct they will free up experienced Ukrainian troops to join the fighting.
Whoa, French Foreign Legion? Those dude's are no joke! That's the type of person that leaves their home country's military because they just aren't getting enough front-line action; like the adrenaline junkies of the combat world. Doubt they have huge numbers but they're an elite fighting force.
for sure
If you are an Adrenalin Junkie, you are wrong in the legion. These Guys are as calm as can be. They are very good soldiers, but save no Adrenalin Junkies. Adrenalin Junkies are the first dead soldiers
Russian artillery and aviation bombs don't care how elite they are.
@@SunriseLAW - They will if they are 'knocked out' before they can be fired or launched.

Love your reports!!!
Hi artur nice to have u back would just like to say Scotland and Ireland and Wales all love Ukraine and have done there bit in there own way but dont brag about it❤Slava Ukraine❤🇨🇮🇨🇮
So, the HIMARS and ATACMS are equipped with inertial guidance. From what I understand, the HIMARS and ATACMS, when jammed, will still find their targets but not pinpoint. Instead of hitting a specific window in the building, the missle just hits the building.
Ah, what's a meter or two btwn friends? 😂
The Stormshadow uses also map and (IR) camera and pattern recognition. Would still hit pylon of a bridge.
They are currently working on gimble based gps receiver that only allows gps signals to come in from space and ignored the jamming signals. They are also making HARM missiles to home in on the jamming signals and destroy the jammers. These will be most effective with the f-16….
@dirkaminimo4836 the GPS jammers are honed in by a missle attachment. I think it's still in development, so it may be a while before avaliable. It will be a game changer.
Thank you Artur, I pointed it out last video and to see you acknowledge the mistake is very respectable.
Thank You France!!!
Leading off from your thought at 15:02, it's not just the GBU-39 glide bomb that can do it. It's not that it isn't being jammed, it actually WAS when it was being launched from the ground, but Ukraine has a whole bunch now because of GLSDB, they took the bombs off and put them on SU24 and 25, or MiG 29s, and the reason that they were able to get passed russian jamming is because once it's in the air far away from the jamming, it can basically get onto target accurately and guide itself in until it hits the jamming, by which point it is generally precise enough to keep going and hit its target. HIMARS benefits from the same to some degree, so long as you're using ATACMS, or using GMLRS at shorter ranges, because so long as the guided ballistic missile can loft high enough to get past jamming, it can get on target before it falls back into jamming, and by that point it's too late and the missile, if it's an ATACMS, is going in excess of Mach 3, and it will continue onward directly to the target unless a sufficiently capable anti-ballistic missile system is present in the region. GMLRS doesn't really have much travel time and is thus difficult to intercept in the first place unless the round is fired directly at an air-defense system, and as we've seen thus far in the war, that doesn't seem to be enough, at least with the current teams operating Russia's S300 and S400 systems. I still doubt the missiles can do it either, they don't seem agile enough for the role and are more built for hitting the extreme range claims that Russia has for intercepting enemy aircraft, rather than maximum agility to hit incoming hypersonic ballistic threats. ATACMS as well has already proven it can sneak in past them repeatedly.
Most people in the UK seem to feel it's either Ukraine today or us tomorrow; this crosses all class and political divides, a genuinely non-partisan issue.
Absolutely- well said!
Not the case here in America. Americans want no part in this foreign war.

France is doing a special military operation in Ukraine.

I just noticed I’ve been unsubscribed to you. I resubscribed thank you for all you do for Ukraine! Slava, Ukraine!
Being Canadian, Canadian armed forces have been helping train Ukrainian's since 2015 (shortly after the Revolution of Dignity) under Operation UNIFIER.
That contract was just extended to March 2026 (and likely will be extended again). There have been at least 300 Canadian boots on the ground in Ukraine training for years now. Their mandate was extended with another 150+ deployed to Britian to help with training of Ukrainian troops at the start of this war.
Point is, there have been foreign troops helping with leadership training, logistics, medical, etc for a LOT of years now.
Dont want to diminish France sending their troops... but it isnt unique.
UK, USA and Canada were in Ukraine training Ukraine military from 2015 until 2022 when Russia began the full invasion, shortly after the training restarted in nearby countries in Europe.
We forgive you Athur much love from south London
I don't care who you are, the biggest and the baddest can't hold a candle to the french foreign legion. They never stop training. And they train harder than anyone else.❤
Harder than British SAS or Navy Seals?
@@dietermitplatten It's a different job... If you want to compare with French units, the SAS/SBS and the Seals compare to Commando Hubert and Commando Trépel... In fact, the commando Hubert even was a joined force with the SBS during WW2...
The Legion is a bit like if... The US Army rangers were total badass and f-king psychos...
The Seals once intended the Legion's 6 weeks jungle survival course in French Guyana...
If a legionary screws it, and they have to call a chopper to take him out, he's out of the Légion, case closed...
Within 2 weeks, all the Seals had been extracted...
The Légion is not a SOF, they're operating at Regiment levels, if you want, they draw a square on a map. They enter, they kill everything, then they wait for the infantry regiment to come and they go to the next square... Where they... kill everything, then...
The last thing you want, if taken as an hostage by terrorists, is that the rescue team being the Légion... Got it?

Best news. I hope you're having a good week and I appreciate all your work and effort to be correct
This is excellent news that so many countries have allowed their weapons to be used to defend Ukraine against Russian military installations near the border. Also fantastic news that France is sending the Foreign Legion troops. Let’s hope this is all a game-changer.
Thanks Artur for owning your mistakes; I trust and respect you more as a result. As an American, I am also glad to see European nations leading the defense of their homelands and neighbors; this is as it should be. The USA must also beware of Chinese aggression in Asia and the pacific and for better or for worse, the Mideast. I will send a letter to our president and congress urging them to support the use of US weapons on Russian territory. I would think that any decision to do so should be kept secret until after the bombs have landed so the Orcs cannot prepare for it. I hope that a result of this war is that all free countries become closer allies and friends. I love my European brothers and sisters and look forward to seeing a free sovereign Ukraine together with us in more peaceful times.
As a french citizen, i'm agree with you.
EU needs their own european defense, own european factory back, and not always count on US help.
We need to see US as a defense partnaire, not a father. This war seems to open our eyes. EU needs a big reform on this point.
How Can WE defend ourself if US is involved elsewhere? (Part of the russian/chineese strategy..... No coïncidence with the North Korea agitation, Taiwan, Iran, Israël/Palestin, Yemen, and in some africans countries..... You can easily see the russian hands)
Russia does anything to distract the eyes and the US and EU from Ukrain.
Canada has also allowed their weapons to be used on russian soil
The French Foreign Legion has more than a tad more experience than Wagner ever had.
Even if they're "just" instructors, they know how the enemies around the world behave... and they kinda know how to train soldiers, as they're perhaps the oldest group of professional mercenaries still alive.
Underestimating them would be a huge mistake.
One thing about jammers... they're very visible to something like HARM missiles... which just adds to the arguments that F16 can't arrive soon enough, and georestriction on ammo is silly.
The Foreign Légion are not mercenaries, they're absolutely a regular unit of the French military
@@harounel-poussah6936 alright, then I might have misunderstood the English word for it.
They are soldiers of fortune, people from around the world sign up because they get paid, not because they're conscripted.
@@BenjaminVestergaard Nobody is conscripted in France for about 30 years, it's an all professional military.
Being a mercenary is also banned by law.
The French Foreign Legion is a regular military unit that accepts up to 50% foreigners in.
Frankly, by French standards, the salary is not great: only about 30% more than the minimum French monthly wages for a 35h/week job while, at least for the 3 first years, you're in the Légion... 24/7/365...
And they have the highest loss rate of all French military units as they're on all hot spots...
@@harounel-poussah6936Tbf, I imagine you're not paying for housing and other things while you're a part of the legion. No?
If that's the case, if you don't have to pay rent/mortgage and other bills then that wage is effectively significantly more than it would seem to be..
A big applause to the French! I’m so
relieved that Ukraine 🇺🇦 is overdue help in their fight for
FREEDOM!!!
Thank you Artur!!!
Vive la France! Bravo Macron! 🇫🇷 💙🤍❤
yeah viva la WW3
from what I heard, France is sending instructors, the Russian war reporters are saying the foreign legion
Artur has been making videos on a lot of misinformation lately. I’m sure he’s not doing it purposely (hopefully). But I know Denys has been keeping tabs, while also using Ground News as a media-bias / Fact-checking source.
@@ghoulishtheories7979 no shit if the french foreign legion enters ukraine its like saying sending the defence league of estonia to ukraine
@@estonia888 Not really, the foreign legion are basically mercenaries
@@ghoulishtheories7979What’s the issue? Sending instructors is exactly what is being said in this video.
@@estonia888 does the defence league have one of the best if not the best soldiers in the army? If so then yes it would be exactly like that
It's the correct way to get boots on the ground. First get the "training" troops there. Then get the logistics troops. Then the "peace keeping" troops. Eventually, arrives the combat troops.
"Instructors and advisors." Very assertive Instructors and advisors.
Appreciate you stepping up and admitting a mistake. Classy.
Thanks, Artur.
France will protect their ''trainers''... good idea to set ''training'' camps next to big cities to be protected too...
Exactly. Great observation to see this. (Original post). The French won't send top rank Legionnaires without air defence. It's totally understandable. So, just place training camps on the front line, just beyond artillery range with air support.
@@deckearns it's a ''strategic'' move, not an emotional... also Macron did visit officially for the first time in many years Germany a couple of days ago... we don't see everything [we shouldn't anyway] so we have to ''connect dots''... my guess is that we're figuring out ''ways'' to deploy our own air-defenses in Ukraine without giving them away... so the ''training camps'' are just an excuse for more air defenses...
Love Perth Scotland 🇬🇧 👊 thank you 🙏 we got a help out once or twice too
Guessing that the French will make sure that their men will be fully protected against any attacks
Now the NATO is planning to enter the theater directly. The Ukraine is suffering a manpower shortage.
yeah russian roulette.. smart strategy.
Viva la France 🇫🇷
As a french person, while I appreciate your lauding us, but it's "vive la France", not viva
The French foreign legion is a whole different breed of war fighter.
Those dudes are hardcore.
@@carlossaraiva8213 I know personally some former legionaries... Hardcore is an euphemism... The Légion even owns special retirement centres for vet who can't re-adapt to civilian life
They also have their own graveyard.
Wow thank you France for helping Ukraine , tnx Arthur ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤from USA
Canada manufactures vehicles by General Dynamic at a factory in Ontario, Canada. Also, Ukrainian pilots are training right in my town. Canada is very much involved in helping Ukraine to fight the Russians.
Thanks!
Bravo France!😊
Not often you make a mistake Artur, but when you do you always apologise and clarify things!
