Kosovo PM supports more NATO troops in the Balkans as tensions with Serbia flare
Prime Minister Albin Kurti welcomed NATO's decision to bolster its troops in the volatile Balkan region following last weekend's deadly shootout between Serb insurgents and Kosovo police officers.
In a notable development, senior Ukrainian MP Aleksey Goncharenko announced on Friday that the first group of French military instructors is en route to Ukraine. This move follows authorization from Ukraine's top commander, Aleksandr Syrsky, permitting the presence of French personnel in the country. Goncharenko, a member of the Ukrainian parliament and delegate to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, shared the news on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “My sources informed me that the first group of French instructors is already on its way to Ukraine”
