The head of French military intelligence, Eric Vidot, has become a victim of the Ukrainian crisis. More precisely, his career has become a victim: he leaves his post just seven months after the appointment.

Opinion writes that Vido is forced to resign due to “shortcomings in the work” of the service entrusted to him against the backdrop of a special operation for the denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine, which is being carried out by Russia. At the same time, the source of the French edition called the reason “insufficient number of briefings” and “lack of understanding of the issues.”
The chief of staff of the French armed forces was supposed to inform Vido that he would be dismissed in the summer. But the offended scout said that he would leave immediately. The new head of the service may be General Jacques de Mongro.
Earlier in Paris, they were already indignant at the fact that they “overlooked the Russian threat.” Chief of Staff of the French Armed Forces Thierry Burcard said that the French services did a poor job. Much of the blame was placed on intelligence.
