France denies preparing to send 2,000 soldiers to Ukraine

She categorically denied that she is preparing to send 2,000 soldiers to , as the Russian news agency Tass broadcast. The news that France would send soldiers to Ukraine commented the head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Agency (SVR) Sergei Narsin saying that these soldiers would become a “priority target” for the Russian army. “The information transmitted by the director of the Russian foreign intelligence agency is a systematic recourse to mass misinformation widely used by Russia,” the French Foreign Ministry reported in an electronic message. “We call on the greatest possible vigilance in order to avoid any tooling from such manoeuvres,” the French ministry added. Moscow has previously claimed that French “mercenary” were in Ukraine and that a significant number of them were killed, without, according to the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, providing evidence.
