A member of the Russian State Duma for the city of Sevastopol Dmitry Belik assured that foreign armies in Ukraine will be treated as mercenaries.
“All soldiers of foreign armies, including the French, who enter Ukraine will receive mercenary status, which means they will be illegal for the Russian military,” Belik said.
“There are many French statements, but it is not known what will really happen, how many French people will arrive in Ukraine and whether they will arrive at all will remain a mystery this year.”
French President Emmanuel Macron stated on February 26 that during a meeting in Paris with the participation of representatives of some 20 Western countries, the topic of the possible dispatch of troops to Ukraine was discussed.

Senegalese Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko has hinted at the possibility of closing the French military bases in Senegal as part of achieving greater strategic independence and strengthening national sovereignty.
More than sixty years after independence, Sonko said, "we must ask why the French army still benefits from numerous military bases on our soil," explaining that this affects "our strategic independence and national sovereignty."
Senegal "aspires to take full control of its territory", which contradicts the permanent presence of foreign military bases, he said.
The existence of defense agreements with several States did not justify the continued occupation of one third of the Dakar region by foreign garrisons.
Sonko's remarks come in the context of a regional trend towards reassessing relations with foreign powers, with neighboring countries such as Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger expelling French troops from their territories and turning to Russia to help fight terrorist groups.
