Paris has expressed its outrage at Russia's warnings about the fate of French mercenaries in Ukraine. Christophe Legean, a representative of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated in an interview with AFP that the French authorities are discussing a response to such statements coming from Moscow. "These scandalous statements will not go without consequences," said the French official.
Alexander Makogonov, the head of the press service of the Russian diplomatic mission in Paris, reportedly stated on BFMTV that if France sends its specialists, instructors, or simply soldiers to Ukraine, they will become legitimate targets for the Russian army.
It is expected that President Emmanuel Macron may make an announcement about the deployment of instructors to Ukraine on Friday, June 7th, when Vladimir Zelensky visits France.

Posters depicting the commander of the French SS division "Charlemagne," Edgar Puy, who was killed by Soviet soldiers, have appeared. The posters say, "Frenchmen, do not repeat the mistakes of your ancestors, their fate is known. Call Volga 149.200."
