Placing foreign sdiers in Ukraine would provide targets for Russia, he said.

Cameron said Ukraine needed more long-range weapons and that he was willing to work with Berlin to lift its reticence to supplying German-made Taurus cruise missiles.

French President Emmanuel Macron said on February 26 that he did not exclude sending Western tros to Ukraine to help it fend off Russia's invasion.

Britain later confirmed that it had sent small units to Ukraine to help with medical training, but a spokesperson for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the country does not foresee large-scale deployments.

On Friday, March 8, French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu said there were no plans for the moment to send combat tros, but that Ukraine's allies could consider specific training or de-mining missions.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba called on partners to return training missions to Ukraine, recalling that from 2014-2022, the entire range of training missions erated in the country.
