A number of countries have already expressed their readiness to support Ukraine in the form of a foreign contingent, but the specific plans are still under discussion. This was reported by the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Georgy Tykhy, during a briefing, reports the correspondent of UNN.

"We support the initiative of France to deploy a foreign contingent in Ukraine, within the framework of the security guarantees being discussed among European countries. Yes, there are also a number of other countries that express their readiness. We welcome such readiness, but so far this is a general discussion about the importance and readiness," Tykhy said.

According to him, there should be no taboos in discussing the forms of support for Ukraine.
