Russia Ukraine war, page-197429

The Russian military killed over 60 mostly French mercenaries and wounded 20+ others in a precision strike in Kharkov this week. The attack comes amid plans by French President Emmanuel Macron to further ramp up military aid to the Kiev regime. French-speaking mercenaries fighting in the proxy war against Russia in Ukraine are a potpourri of fascist radicals seeking to replay the Second World War on the Eastern Front, Francois Mauld d’Aymee, a French officer-turned Donbass People’s Militia volunteer has told Sputnik.
“Representatives of the French mercenary movement vary greatly. French-speaking Canadian mercenaries are worth mentioning. They, by and large, come from radical nationalist circles, and see the conflict as an opportunity to realize their pathetic dreams of replaying the Great Patriotic War. In other words, they’re openly Nazis, Hitlerites, and freely organize the dispatch of new militants from training centers which they own in Paris and Lyon. They have connections with CasaPound in Italy [a radical Italian neo-fascist movement, ed.], and their ideological line is always the same as that of Azov,” Mauld d'Aymee said, referring to the Ukrainian openly neo-Nazi volunteer brigade-turned regiment.
