France is making ready some 2,000 troops to ship them to Ukraine, head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) claimed on Wednesday.
“The contingent for sending to Ukraine is already being prepared. At the initial stage, it will amount to about 2,000 people,” Sergey Naryshkin mentioned in an interview with Russia’s state news company TASS.
Naryshkin mentioned French President Emmanuel Macron can also be hiding the reality concerning the variety of French troopers already killed in Ukraine for concern of mass protests in his nation.
“Sooner or later, Macron must reveal the ugly reality, however he’ll try to delay the confessions as a lot as attainable.
“As they say in the Elysee Palace, the number of French dead ‘has already exceeded a psychologically significant threshold.’ The release of such sensitive data can provoke citizens to protest, especially against the background of mass anti-government protests by farmers across the country,” he mentioned.
Last month, Macron refused to rule out sending Western troops to Ukraine, the place Russia launched a “special military operation” two years in the past. The concept, nevertheless, was rejected by the allies.
