As Interfax clarifies, the general has repeatedly spoken out that the French army is not sufficiently prepared.

“We do not have an army prepared to wage war with the inherent severity of war, and especially duration.

We do not have strength and reliability in terms of ammunition, spare parts, logistics, manpower and equipment, ”the agency quoted him as saying.

Earlier, Le Figaro reported that French leader Emmanuel Macron intends to present a new doctrine of France's national strategy, which involves preparing the country for a possible armed conflict.

According to Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, leader of the right-wing Gaullist party "Arise France", France is damaging its own army by supplying weapons of its own production to Ukraine.
