Philippot pointed to the launch of a company in France to prepare for a conflict with Russia.

A propaganda campaign has begun in France to prepare for a military conflict with Russia. This was announced on May 8 by the leader of the French Patriots party, Florian Philippot.

"A crazy propaganda campaign is unfolding on television, designed to force France to officially enter into an armed conflict with Russia!" Philippot wrote on his page on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

This is how the politician reacted to the statement by Pierre Cervant, a columnist for the LCI TV channel, that Paris is already at war with Moscow.
