No, they're no better than the Ukrainian nor the Russian when fighting at equal footing. Seven French troops went to fight in the Donbass and Kharkov regions, five dead in four battles they didn't last a week.
The ramaining two went back with five coffins.
The mobilization squad is having hard time mobilizing. Those eager to fight were already dead volunteering in the inital mobilization batches. Full mobilization law passed last month aimed at forcing those unwilling to fight to the front line.
Those newly mobilized are forced to go to the front line without training, train at the front line so to speak. If those French troop are considered well trained, then how long could these rookies last in the front line?
Maybe they should spare these Ukrainian and send Nato troops to the front line.
And in the end, those rich kid profitting from the war go abroad, like former defence minister Reznikov who was replaced due to corruption, become a US citizen. On whose behalf are these people sacrificing the Ukrainnian for?
