Les campagnes de désinformation sur le soutien de la France à l’Ukraine ne faiblissent pas, la preuve

“Disinformation campaigns about France's support for Ukraine do not stop. No, France has not sent troops to Ukraine,” the Foreign Ministry wrote.
Macron's statements
Fake news about the French military began to appear after French President Emmanuel Macron allowed the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine. This happened after a meeting of European leaders in Paris.
Later, the French President explained that sending troops was possible if the Russian forces renewed their offensive on Odesa or Kyiv.
At the same time, Macron said that he did not rule out the possibility of deploying French troops in Ukraine, as Russia cannot win the war.
