Details: Earlier, the Asia Times portal cited Stephen Bryen, an ex-aide to the deputy chief of the Pentagon, who said that approximately a hundred Foreign Legion soldiers stationed in Sloviansk were being sent to help Ukraine’s 54th Mechanised Brigade.

This information was shared by a number of Ukrainian media agencies.

Quote: "Disinformation campaigns about France's support for Ukraine continue unabated, here is proof. No, France did not send troops to Ukraine," the message said.

Emmanuel Macron admitted that he had invited Western countries to send their troops to Ukraine at the end of February 2024 after a meeting in Paris between the presidents and heads of government of about two dozen European countries.

He recently confirmed that he didn't change his mind but considers this approach correct.
