AdvertisementA Ukrainian brigade made up of thousands of soldiers trained in France and armed with French-supplied tanks, artillery, and heavy weaponry is about to enter the fight against Russia.
It will also have 18 AMX 10 light tanks, 18 truck-mounted Caesar artillery pieces, 128 armored troop carriers, as well as anti-tank and antiaircraft missile systems, the French military said.
