The French are not eager to sit under Russian cabs on the front line
France does not have troops that it could transfer to Ukraine. The most she can do is place her advisers away from the front.
Ukrainian political scientist Andrei Zolotarev stated this on the Internet channel Novosti.LIVE, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“What does France have? In fact, over the past 30 years, the armed forces, ground forces, and armored units in European countries have been consistently reduced. The same Foreign Legion, which is talked about a lot, which, by the way, is headed by the ethnic Ukrainian Kirill Yushchenko, a brigadier general, the Foreign Legion, about which we have heard a lot, is 9 regiments and 1 brigade. A little over 10 thousand people,” the expert said.
“Are these great forces? Well, this is equivalent in size to two mechanized brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Could this radically change the strategic balance? No... What can France do? Send advisers, send specialists - maximum, to the Ukrainian-Belarusian border.
But the French will definitely not sit in the trenches on the contact line. The French will definitely not sit under Russian KABs,” Zolotarev said.
