RUSSIA WARNS OF FRENCH PLAN TO DEPLOY 2,000 FIGHTERS IN UKRAINE

Wed 29 October 2025:

On Tuesday, Russia’s SVR alleged that France is gearing up to send as many as 2,000 troops and officers to Ukraine.

The core of this formation will consist of stormtroopers from the French Foreign Legion, predominantly from Latin American countries, it said in a statement.

“Currently, legionnaires are already stationed in Polish border regions adjacent to Ukraine, undergoing intensive combat training, receiving arms and military equipment. Their transfer to central regions of Ukraine is planned in the near future,” it said.

Meanwhile, hospitals in France are rapidly expanding capacity by creating hundreds of additional beds to receive wounded soldiers while doctors undergo specialized medical training for field conditions, the SVR further said.

In case of leaks of this information, Paris intends to claim that it merely involves a small group of instructors arriving in Ukraine to train mobilized Ukrainian servicemen, it said.

“(French President Emmanuel) Macron is known for dreaming of Napoleon’s ‘laurels.’ However, his study of history is disgracefully poor. He not only skipped the textbook section describing the conclusion of Napoleon’s campaign in Russia but also missed classes discussing Swedish King Charles XII’s attempt to defeat Russia relying on traitorous Hetman Ivan Mazepa’s support, which ended in Sweden’s defeat at Poltava. Macron should remember the famous words of renowned Russian historian Vasily Klyuchevsky — history teaches no lessons, it only punishes ignorance,” it added.

Macron has previously floated the idea of Western “reassurance forces” in Ukraine post-ceasefire as part of a “coalition of the willing” with allies like the UK, but emphasized no consensus exists for active combat deployment.

Described the SVR’s information as “alarming” during a briefing, noting that Russian forces already detect “foreign speech” on Ukrainian radio communications, implying the presence of Western fighters. He reiterated Moscow’s readiness to target any foreign combatants.

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova: Mocked the deployment idea, suggesting Macron redirect the troops to guard French cultural sites like the Louvre amid domestic security issues, rather than Ukraine.
