Tensions between France and Niger, a former French colony, have mounted in recent weeks, and Macron said recently that diplomats were surviving on military rations as they holed up in the embassy.
Russian intelligence claims France plans to send 2,000 troops to Ukraine, escalating Western involvement. Reports suggest French forces have already suffered significant casualties, comparable to the Algerian War. Paris allegedly covers up losses to prevent public outrage. President Macron hints at troop deployment and forms a coalition for military training in Ukraine. Moscow warns that Western military presence could trigger a wider European or global conflict.
