The French army has suffered an old sin this time. At 7 a.m. on April 15, a missile suddenly fell from the sky and was sent to the French army's bed in a daze. In the positions of the Ukrainian army in Slavyansk, a puff of black smoke rose over the sky, ambulances were endless, and according to relevant information, about 80 soldiers were hit, more than 40 were killed and more than 40 were injured. And half of the population is not the Ukrainian army, which is accustomed to fighting with the Russian army, but the French army who came from afar on the other side of the mountain and the sea. The missile "welcome", the artillery fire "welcome", and Russia's sentence that "the French troops will be the priority target of the Russian army" is really not nonsense.
Back in April this year, the Russian Foreign Ministry claimed that 1,500 French troops had entered Ukraine. At that time, the French Ministry of Defense also chose to deny it, saying that Russia spread rumors and sent false information. But the reality is that as early as April 11, a French army of about 100 people came to Slavyansk and finally entered the location of the 54th separate mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian army. There are artillery reconnaissance specialists, engineer advisers, and 10 Caesar vehicle-mounted howitzers. There is no doubt that these are used against the Russian army. This situation was quickly discovered by the pro-Russian underground group, and then the missile arrived, and Sergei Lebedev, a member of the group, quickly said afterwards that it was a targeted strike by the Russian army.
According to Lebedev, the wounded French army was not treated on the spot, but was specially "covertly" sent to Pavlograd for treatment. As for the soldiers who have died, the news came out that they were directly evacuated by helicopters, and the subsequent destination is unknown.
From contributing to Ukraine wholeheartedly to dying in a foreign country, in just 5 days, I have to say that it is also another speed. In the face of this situation, Macron did not give any reaction, and it is also a way to deal with it if he wants to keep it secret. This trick may also be borrowed from Poland, after all, the Polish brigadier general Adam Malzak was also killed by a missile, and the situation given by the Polish side was "accidental death from natural causes", perhaps this time, the French army was also "accidental".
At the beginning of Russia and Ukraine, French Macron's attitude was still dovish, at the beginning, he also advocated dialogue with Putin, saying that "we must not humiliate Russia", but as Ukraine retreated, NATO's aid was swallowed up by the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield like a bottomless pit, and Wagner's intervention in the military coup in Niger, West Africa, caused France to lose great benefits, and the French president's attitude became hawkish, even the Paris Olympics, he unceremoniously said that he would be attacked by Russian information. In addition, the French army was bombed in Ukraine this time, I am afraid that in the future, there will be many places where the French army will appear.
Looking at France again, there are many voices shouting that France will leave NATO and the EU and Macron will step down. In late March, the French also took to the streets to demonstrate. Being beaten militarily and not supported at home in public opinion, Macron's plan really can't be smooth sailing.
It is worth noting that on April 15, Zelensky also announced that Ukraine has signed bilateral security agreements with nine countries: the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Denmark, Canada, Italy, the Netherlands, Finland and Latvia. As soon as the agreement was signed here, France was the first to eat the crab, and which of the next nine countries will be the turn? There will certainly be no United States, which is far away and likes to engage in "proxy wars."
