Russia Says France Poised to Deploy 2,000 Troops to Ukraine
(MENAFN) Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) asserted on Tuesday that France is preparing to send a force of up to 2,000 military personnel to Ukraine, citing a statement released by the agency.
According to the SVR, the planned contingent will be centered around stormtroopers from the French Foreign Legion, largely composed of recruits from Latin American countries.
"Currently, legionnaires are already stationed in Polish border regions adjacent to Ukraine, undergoing intensive combat training, receiving arms and military equipment. Their transfer to central regions of Ukraine is planned in the near future," the statement said.
The intelligence service added that hospitals across France are rapidly expanding capacity, creating hundreds of additional beds for wounded soldiers while medical personnel are trained in field-specific procedures.
In anticipation of potential leaks, Paris reportedly plans to frame the mission as a deployment of a small group of instructors to train Ukrainian servicemen, the SVR said.
“(French President Emmanuel) Macron is known for dreaming of Napoleon's 'laurels.' However, his study of history is disgracefully poor. He not only skipped the textbook section describing the conclusion of Napoleon's campaign in Russia but also missed classes discussing Swedish King Charles XII's attempt to defeat Russia relying on traitorous Hetman Ivan Mazepa's support, which ended in Sweden's defeat at Poltava. Macron should remember the famous words of renowned Russian historian Vasily Klyuchevsky -- history teaches no lessons, it only punishes ignorance," it added.
