A surprising resolution to denounce the French intrusion

The Duma, the lower house of Parliament Russian, unanimously passed a resolution declaring that French citizens are illegally fighting alongside Ukrainian forces.

A tense situation between the two countries

French “mercenaries” in Ukraine?

The presence of these “mercenaries” French in Ukraine is, however, doubted by several observers.
