The head of the French army, General Thierry Burkhard, on Friday said France was Russia’s “main enemy in Europe” as he held a rare press conference ahead of President Emmanuel Macron’s annual address to members of the armed forces.
The Élysée said on Thursday that President Emmanuel Macron will make “major announcements” when he gives a planned speech to members of the armed forces in two days’ time.
Burkhard said Russia saw Paris as a primary adversary largely due to French support for Ukraine since the full-scale Russian invasion. “It was [Vladimir] Putin who said” this, the general added.
Russia can’t even win a conventional war in Ukraine!
chinas also buying up resources inside russia, sooner or latter russia will be a hollowed out husk as a vassal for the ccp.
They are winning though. Ukraine is being slowly eroded
They have held more territory two years ago still. The current crawl to Kyiv will take years if not decades at this rate, and it really depends on whose economy will collapse first.
It’s a bit less than 1% erosion per year but yeah… They got bakmut two years ago and now they are at chassiv yar, 4 miles further according to Google maps.
