French President Emmanuel Macron is very consistent for the last weeks in his thesis about the possibility of sending a Western contingent to Ukraine. This was stated at a briefing by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov.
In particular, the Kremlin representer commented on the previously made statement by Estonian Prime Minister Kai Kallas that when translating the words of Macron, there was a not entirely correct translation.
“Mr. President of France Macron is very consistent in the last few weeks in his thesis about the possibility of the direction of such a contingent. And it is unlikely that we are talking about some kind of ambiguity in translation,” said Peskov, whose words are cited by the Russian media.
“The fact that this is ambiguously perceived in different European capitals is obvious,” said the Kremlin representative. “We continue to watch this situation very carefully,” he added.
Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron did not rule out the entry of the Western contingent into the territory of Ukraine, which in turn caused a discussion among representatives of Western countries.
On the eve of the director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence (SVR) of Russia, Sergei Naryshkin, with the statement that France was preparing the military for sending to Ukraine. According to him, at the initial stage, the number of contingent can be about 2 thousand people.
The Ministry of Defense of France called the “misinformation” the approval of the director of the SVR Naryshkin that Paris was preparing for the sending of the military to Ukraine.
“Information voiced by the director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, is another example of Russia’s systematic use of mass misinformation,” the French military department said in the social network x.
In addition, Peskov claims that Armenia invites the observation mission of the European Union unilaterally, excluding the opinion of Azerbaijan.
“The question is, what is the subject of observation and whether this mission is recognized as the Azerbaijani side. I doubt that such a mandate will be found there,” said the representative of the Kremlin.
“This is a unilateral decision of Yerevan. It is worth questioning the potential efficiency of such a mission,” he added.
