Nga “đấu khẩu” nảy lửa về việc đưa quân đến Ukraine
The French Ministry of Defense has revealed that the head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has been using a series of systemic disinformation tactics, as reported by Anadolu Agency. This revelation highlights Russia’s deliberate use of misinformation to deceive and manipulate.
A Systemic Disinformation Campaign
The comments made by the SVR’s Sergey Naryshkin suggest that France is preparing to deploy 2,000 troops to Ukraine. Naryshkin accuses French President Emmanuel Macron of concealing the true number of French casualties in Ukraine to avoid domestic backlash. However, on March 20th, the French Ministry of Defense strongly denied these claims, emphasizing their utmost caution to avoid falling victim to such manipulative actions.
France’s Contemplation of Military Deployment
Just last month, President Macron did not rule out the possibility of sending Western forces to Ukraine, where Russia has been conducting a military campaign for the past two years. However, this idea was met with resistance from France’s allies.
Meanwhile, according to the TASS news agency, Russian Deputy Security Council Chairman Dmitry Medvedev views targeting French troops operating in Ukraine as a crucial yet not overly challenging task for the Russian Armed Forces. In fact, Medvedev even commented on Telegram that the deployment of French troops to Ukraine is “a good idea.” According to him, if Paris decides to send at least a few battalions to Ukraine, the “identification and elimination” of these forces would not be difficult.
As tensions rise, it is becoming increasingly evident that Russia is employing a systematic disinformation campaign to influence public opinion and further its own agenda. With countries like France being targeted, it is crucial for governments and the international community to remain vigilant and take appropriate measures to counteract these tactics.
