The Kremlin even said that France had already begun to train the military. According to the director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, “at the initial stage, the military contingent will be about 2 thousand people.” The head of the Center for Military Legal Studies, Alexander Musienko, analyzed 24 Channel the Kremlin's reaction. The Kremlin is concerned According to Musienko, it is absolutely obvious that under certain conditions French troops and others may appear in Ukraine. Various scenarios are being considered. NATO will increase its presence in Romania, in particular France. Accordingly, such information worries and alarms the Kremlin. The same Naryshkin said that the “contingent” will become “a priority legitimate target for attacks by the Russian army.” They have a hypertrophied reaction. This means that they were scared by the idea. They are concerned because it has generated a lot of discussion and commentary. It seems to me that Putin comments on these things more often than the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky,” noted the head of the Center for Military Legal Studies. expected such a reaction to the war in Ukraine. Macron attracted attention and raised the topic and question for our state in such a way that now all European media are talking about it. In addition, almost all countries note that Kyiv cannot lose, so it must be supported. Reality is now taking shape.
