Medvedev: Russia would benefit if France sent troops to Ukraine.

Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Medvedev said that Russia would benefit if France decided to deploy troops to Ukraine to support Kyiv.

"In fact, it would be great if France sent a few regiments to Ukraine. It's very difficult to conceal such a large number of soldiers, so eliminating them isn't the most difficult task, but it's certainly the most important one. Think about the beneficial chain reaction that France's actions would bring," Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev posted on Telegram on March 20.

Medvedev did not specify what benefits Russia would receive. According to him, French servicemen in Ukraine would become an interventionist force, so removing them would be a "priority and a matter of honor" for the Russian armed forces.
