This opinion was expressed by Figaro columnist Renaud Girard.

“Russian soldiers... have a certain combat training, since they directly participated in the military conflict,” she said.

At the same time, Girard emphasized that the French army currently does not have the means to wage a “conventional war with Russia.”

Earlier, former head of the French Ministry of Defense Herve Morin criticized the country's President Emmanuel Macron for his position on supporting Ukraine.

At the same time, the LCI stated that France would enter into direct combat with Russia in the event of the collapse of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
