French Defense Ministry denies presence of French soldiers in Ukraine

This was stated by the spokesperson for the minister of the armed forces, Sébastien Lecornu, The Guardian reports.

“There are no French forces engaged in operation in Ukraine. The documents cited do not come from the French armies. We do not comment on documents whose source is uncertain,” he said. 

Also, top-secret Pentagon documents, which reportedly contain blueprints detailing expected arms shipments, battalion sizes and other sensitive information, were shared on Twitter and Telegram this week.

It is noted that there is already a small contingent of special forces from France, America, Great Britain and Latvia operating in Ukraine, which includes less than a hundred fighters from NATO member countries.

According to military analysts, the documents were changed in some parts in order to overestimate the death toll of Ukrainian soldiers and to underestimate the death toll of Russian soldiers.
