More western troops expected into Ukraine.

 FRENCH COULD SEND 20,000 TO UKRAINE

THEY SHOULD EXPECT TO BE PRIMARY TARGET

French military chief of staff, Pierre Schill is claiming they will send 20,000 troops to Ukraine in the next 30 days. There are some reports that some of these troops are already arriving. The general also claimed that they would be ready to command a combined EU force of 60,000. It may be that France believe with this action they will encourage others to also send troops. It can be expected that verification of such a move will be reported very soon after it occurs.

It seems the French believe that their troops can be used to relieve some support duties of Ukrainian troops allowing the Ukrainians to be sent to the conflict zone. I would expect as soon as they arrive in Ukraine they will be a legitimate and primary target. 

There have been foreign troops in Ukraine since the beginning of this conflict, many have returned home and many have been killed in Ukraine. 

Russia estimates that 13,400 foreign troops have fought in Ukraine. They estimate that 5962 have been killed.

Poland 2690 of which 1497 have been killed.

Georgia                         561 killed

U.S.                               491 killed

Canada                          422 killed

U.K.                              360 killed

Romania                        349

France                           147

Germany                         88

There have been foreign troops also fighting on the Russian side. Troops from Africa, Nepal, India, Cuba and other Asian countries are reported.

If these EU troops enter Ukraine it will be a serious escalation to this conflict, with any hotels and other places of housing targeted. 

It seems the west still believes that it can convince Russia to give up on their objectives in Ukraine by intimidation, but they are delusional, Russia will go all out to ensure that Ukraine is not a NATO country and will stay the course even if it ends in mutual destruction.
