Does NATO really believe that their strategy of striking Russia with NATO mercenaries and NATO weapons from Ukrainian territory to Russian territory will not go unanswered?
This is extreme immaturity
Ukrainian counteroffensive? Is that still a thing?
Napoleon Macron is the most single significant threath to Europe and the world. Wake up French peoples….time to asky his resignation he doesn't rappresents ordinary citizens
Belousov in office not even for a week already the taxes doubled in Russia:/
It’s a PR stunt as they could easily be safely trained across the border in a nato country.
Very bad idea, end the war, start negotiations to save some of Ukraine, failing that well no Ukraine will remain. END THE WAR
There are several private persons of foreign origin helping with training soldiers and demining.
They'll become casualties too, then what? You bring in assets to protect them and those get hit. That is called "Vietnam War" and that's why US said no to trainers in Ukraine. Go ahead France, try again like you did in Vietnam
Napoleon Bonaparte 2.0
I love this… lets go mushrooms pllzz
There will be French mince meat and the reporters will say its women and children.
A stupid game that plays right into the hands of US foreign policy aims of an ongoing and escalating conflict in Europe. Their profits are huge and they are buying up Ukraine as cheap as chips while Europe digs itself a deeper and deeper grave thanks to puppets like Macron, Sunak and Scholtz, a man so dull, he destroyed his nations economy rather than say no to the Americans.
Excellent! The experts at waving the white flag can show the Ukrainians how to wave it😅
