“I have confidence in your individual and collective training, your cohesion and your recognized operational efficiency.” On the fifth day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Emmanuel Macron sent, Monday, February 28, a message of “acknowledgement” intended for French soldiers.
“The illegal, direct and massive attack launched against Ukraine on Thursday February 24 is the most serious and uninhibited manifestation of power by the Russian regime since the end of the USSR”, describes the head of state. While France has chosen to hit the Russian regime in the wallet rather than participate in military action, the President of the Republic says he knows “to be able to count once again on its armies”.
I know I can count on you to show, in the execution of your missions, great vigilance and the necessary restraint in the event of possible interference.
