The French mercenary, who was part of the international legion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who died during the fighting near Kharkov, could be associated with ultra-right groups.

This is reported by the publication Liberation.

After reporting the death of a French mercenary, far-right accounts began to spread messages, one of which said that the victim was "a French legionnaire who fought all his life against Bolshevism and anti-fascists."

According to the publication, the identity of the deceased was revealed in the Telegram channels and a photo was distributed where he is depicted with a fascist greeting.

Earlier, the Europe 1 agency reported that the first hired soldier from France was killed during a special operation in Ukraine.
