Russia’s SVR claims France is preparing to deploy soldiers to Ukraine
(MENAFN) Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) claimed Tuesday that France is preparing to send up to 2,000 soldiers and officers to Ukraine, according to reports.
The SVR stated that the main component of this contingent would be stormtroopers from the French Foreign Legion, largely composed of personnel 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.
Additionally, the SVR reported that French hospitals are rapidly increasing their capacity by adding hundreds of beds to treat wounded soldiers while medical personnel receive specialized training for field conditions.
In the event of information leaks, Paris is expected to claim that the deployment involves only a small group of instructors tasked with training mobilized Ukrainian forces.
The statement also included a historical critique, claiming, “(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."
