βοΈDmitry Medvedev approves of France sending troops to Ukraine:
"It would be nice if the restless French sent a couple of regiments to Banderaland. It is very problematic to hide such a number of military personnel, and, therefore, the issue of their systematic destruction will not be the most difficult but an extremely important task.
β‘But how beneficial it would be!
With so many coffins that will be delivered to France from a foreign, distant country, it will be impossible to hide the mass death of professional military personnel. Moreover, you can no lie and say that, supposedly, mercenaries themselves choose their fate and dispose of their right to life. These unfortunates will become full-fledged combatants as part of the intervention contingent. Their destruction will be the priority and glorious task for our Armed Forces.
π«π·But for the roosters from the French leadership, this will be like the guillotine. They will be cut into pieces by angry relatives and evil representatives of the opposition, who were told that France is not at war with Russia. And it will be a good lesson for other restless idiots in Europe"
