In what case will the French army join the Ukrainian battlefield?
(Baonghean.vn) - The French army could directly intervene in the conflict with Russia in case the defense system of the Ukrainian Armed Forces completely collapses, LCI TV channel quoted a source in the military as saying.
According to the media, there are several scenarios that would lead to the entry of French troops into Ukraine. According to the TV channel, the most dangerous scenario is the possibility of deploying troops of this NATO member country in the positions and trenches of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. “These scenarios can only be considered if the Ukrainian front collapses. It is the third world war,” the presenter of the LCI channel noted.
The commentary added that the most likely scenario for Paris's involvement is options such as the construction of military factories for Kiev, or the deployment of French forces near Odessa to cover this important Ukrainian port, including air cover.
In late February, French President Emmanuel Macron said Paris would do everything possible to prevent Russia from “winning this war.” According to him, Western leaders had discussed the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine but had not yet reached a consensus.
The politician, who was harshly criticized for his remarks, later noted that his every word was carefully considered. He also pointed out that Paris has no “limits and red lines” in supporting Kiev.
Commenting on Mr. Macron's statement about sending troops to Ukraine, the Kremlin said that such a development would certainly lead to a direct military conflict between Russia and NATO./.
