Is WW3 starting as France starts sending volunteers to Ukraine? or has it already started?
>French officials emphasized that the volunteers would not be members of the French Armed Forces but former soldiers, reservists, and civilians with military experience who have elected to join newly established "European Volunteer Brigades." Defense officials said participants would undergo expedited training before crossing into Ukraine.
>The decision follows weeks of intensified Russian missile and drone attacks across Ukraine, as Kyiv's newly appointed military leadership has pledged renewed counteroffensive operations. European Union diplomats, meanwhile, remain locked in negotiations over another package of sanctions against Moscow amid disagreements among several member states.
>The Kremlin denounced the French initiative as "a reckless provocation," warning that any organized volunteer formations receiving French logistical assistance would be treated as "legitimate military targets."
>Russia's Foreign Ministry accused Paris of "abandoning the distinction between indirect assistance and direct participation," though it stopped short of announcing retaliatory measures against France itself.
>Russian military bloggers reacted with alarm, describing the development as the most significant Western escalation since the introduction of long-range missile systems.
>NATO officials reiterated that the alliance was not involved in France's volunteer program.
>Poland and several Baltic governments expressed support.
