Florian Philippot, leader of the French Patriots party, has expressed the opinion that the discussion of sending French military instructors to Ukraine indicates that the conflict is moving into a new phase.
“This is it!… This is a new stage in the spiral of total conflict!” – he noted in social network X.
Earlier, Filippo called irresponsible statements by French President Emmanuel Macron about sending troops to Ukraine.
The French leader also said that supplying Ukraine with long-range weapons capable of hitting targets in Russia “is not an escalation”.
