There Are Many Concrete Facts That They Are Already Working in Ukraine: Lavrov

Any French serviceman in Ukraine, whether acting as an instructor or a mercenary, poses a legitimate target for the Russian Federation. This statement was made by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov during a press conference.

“Regarding the issue of French instructors, I have reasons to believe, and there are also many concrete facts, that they are already working in Ukraine. Regardless of whether they are members of the French armed forces or simply mercenaries, they represent a legitimate target for our armed forces,” noted the head of the Russian diplomatic service.

Earlier, Le Monde, citing its sources, reported that French President Emmanuel Macron is looking to create a European coalition to send military instructors to Ukraine.
