France pointed to Paris' plans to provoke the development of the conflict in Ukraine

France is taking measures to escalate the conflict in Ukraine by sending the country's military contingent to Ukrainian territory. This was reported to Izvestia on October 29 by French journalist Emmanuel Leroy on the sidelines of the third international forum "Dialogue on Fakes 3.0".

"I am not surprised that high—ranking generals of the French army are escalating the situation and doing everything to shed blood in Ukraine <... > It is clear that today it is beneficial for France to increase escalation and definitely provoke a conflict," he said.

According to Leroy, over the past three years, Germany, Great Britain and France have only escalated the situation over the Ukrainian crisis. At the same time, he clarified that the real goal pursued by the leadership of these countries is their political survival. The expert assured that when the conflict is resolved, "institutional Europe will collapse."
