According to Russian spies, France is already preparing combat operations in Ukraine.
Putin's friend Medvedev reacts in his usual martial way.
Paris - The EU is supplying weapons and aid to Ukraine, which is defending itself against the Kremlin's troops.
But so far neither Germany nor other countries from the Union have sent soldiers to fight on Kiev's side in the Ukraine war.
The Russian state news agency
Tass
claims to have learned that this will soon change.
Accordingly, France should already be preparing a military contingent.
Russian espionage report: France prepares to send troops to Ukraine
According to Sergei Naryshkin, Paris is preparing an initial force of 2,000 soldiers for combat.
The head of the Russian foreign intelligence service SWR noted that “such a large military unit cannot be transferred and stationed in Ukraine unnoticed.”
The head of the SWR also spoke of direct consequences for the EU and NATO country: it would become “a legitimate, priority target for attacks by the Russian armed forces”.
Dmitri Medvedev also reacted to the report on Telegram.
As usual, Vladimir Putin's vassal resorted to threatening behavior towards the West.
The head of the Russian Security Council spoke of the systematic destruction of the French as an “important task.”
If Paris sent a few regiments to Ukraine, it would be “nice.”
Medvedev: Destroying French troops “priority and glorious task”
Medvedev wrote that he was pleased that France was finally no longer hiding its involvement in the war.
“With so many coffins delivered to France from a foreign, distant country, it is impossible to hide the mass death of professional military personnel,” Medvedev said.
The destruction of French tasks will be “the primary and glorious task of our armed forces.”

He also predicted that such a step would be tantamount to a guillotine for the “roosters” of the French leadership, since they had promised the opposition that they would not be at war with Russia.
Medvedev called other countries in Europe “restless idiots” for whom this would be a good lesson.

Macron does not rule out future French combat missions in Ukraine
French President Emmanuel Macron had not ruled out that Western military forces could be sent to Ukraine.
It is not clear whether the French have concrete plans to take this step in addition to this declaration of intent.
The fact that Russian spies are active in Western countries was recently shown in Germany, when the Russian foreign secret service intercepted a telephone conference between high-ranking air force officers from the Bundeswehr about the use of Taurus missiles.
Tass
also wrote about French members of the International Legion who were killed in a rocket attack on Kharkiv on January 23.
Accordingly, “the number of French deaths has already exceeded a psychologically significant threshold”.
France has already responded to the reports and denied Naryshkin's claims.
Russia is spreading disinformation.
Poland's Foreign Minister: Western soldiers are already fighting in Ukraine
Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski considers the fact that Western soldiers are already fighting in Ukraine to be an open secret.
“As your Chancellor said, there are already some troops from large countries in Ukraine,” Sikorski said in an interview with the
German Press Agency
.
When asked whether it was a problem that the Chancellor spoke about the issue, he said: "In Polish we have the term Tajemenica Polizynela, which describes a secret that everyone knows."
On February 26, Chancellor Olaf Scholz justified his rejection of the delivery of Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine to journalists and said, among other things, that Germany would not participate in targeting with soldiers - neither from Germany nor on site.
