4 scenarios for France using its military in the conflict in Ukraine

According to RIA Novosti, Swiss newspaper NZZ on April 7 presented four most likely scenarios in case France uses military force in the conflict in Ukraine.

In the first scenario, France deploys an army north of Kiev, aiming to "prevent an attack from the tip of Belarus".

NZZ newspaper believes that in this scenario, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be able to move to the Eastern and Southern fronts.

In the second scenario, the French troops would act as a reserve in the direction of Zaporozhye, and try to prevent breakthroughs by the Russian Armed Forces.

In the third scenario, French troops would be deployed north of Odessa to ensure security for important seaports.

Finally, France deployed troops in Moldova.

Previously, at the end of March 2024, the French newspaper Le Figaro also presented five scenarios of France's involvement in the conflict in Ukraine, including the risk of direct confrontation with Russia.

In the first two scenarios according to Le Figaro, France could build military factories on Ukrainian territory and support Kiev in mine clearance and soldier training.

In the remaining three scenarios, Le Figaro leaves open the possibility of an escalation of tensions with the involvement of the French army in the fierce conflict in Ukraine, with one scenario having a 100% chance that French soldiers will clash directly with Russian troops.

For example, French troops could be stationed in Odessa and take on a defensive role in the Black Sea region.

The most unlikely scenario that Le Figaro constructed was a "trench confrontation" between the French army and the Russian Armed Forces, which would cause huge political and military losses to France.

According to analysts, if the most extreme scenario occurs, not only will the French Armed Forces suffer heavy losses, but France itself will also be in a critical situation, because Russia is not only a country with a powerful army, but also the world's number 1 nuclear power.
