Third World Scenario: France's army can participate in the battles against the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation - LCI (video)
The authors of the material listed five scenarios for the placement of French troops, which previously described the edition of Le Figaro. These scripts differ in the level of involvement in war and escalation. The first involves the placement of military plants in Ukraine, production and repair, said LCI journalists, citing sources in the military department. It is expected that the factories will be limited by the number of French engineers, and civilians, not the military.
This is not a very risky option, although there is a certain risk of escalation, since Russian troops can attack these plants. The French military exchange the territory, teach the Armed Forces soldiers and work with military equipment. According to the authors of the plot, such a scenario may already happen. It is reported that if French armored vehicles need service, it is possible that the technical staff is already engaged in it. But there is no official confirmation of this.
With such a scenario, people in French uniform would be in Ukraine, but at the same time would not be considered parties to the conflict, which is determined by active involvement in hostilities. Journalists recalled that two French engineers were killed in Iraq last year. In this case, the task is more economical. Three ports and grain corridors are provided. French soldiers can be placed, but to work with air defense, since the front line is still far from Odessa.
At the same time, the city is fired at rockets and drones. According to sources in the military department, in such a scenario it is possible that the French will be considered involved in hostilities, "if they gather an enemy rocket. " It is envisaged to place the military who would fulfill the rear tasks of the Ukrainian military, for example to protect the Belarusian border. At the same time, the Ukrainian military could go to hot spots on the front line.
The fifth script involves direct participation in the war, battles in the trenches. In other words, the French military would oppose the Russians side by side with Ukrainians. This intersects the boundary of direct participation in the war. The authors of the publication call this scenario the third world. The last two scenarios can only take place in the case of collapse of the Ukrainian Front, which, according to experts, is unlikely in the short term.
