French afraid of WWIII because of weapons supply to Ukraine
Le Figaro asked readers whether it is necessary to help Ukraine with weapons, in particular to supply tanks. Respondents' opinions split almost equally but commentators criticised the idea, saying it is very risky, RIA Novosti reports
Yann believes the transfer of weapons to Kiev is an irresponsible idea. He recalled the years of Donbass bombing and shelling, “It [Ukraine’s government] has been bombing the cities in the east of the country for years – though their residents demanded autonomy; in complete contradiction with the well-known Minsk agreements, it opened the doors to the American military through exchange agreements.”
Gillesdevertou called for a speedy resolution of the conflict, “While supplying tanks to Ukraine, we will not reach this goal.”
“If we want to unleash WWIII, then we should [supply weapons],” X commented.
Maurice THEILLIER drew attention to great risks of such assistance. The user believes, French tanks are simply not able to compete with Russian ones.
Other commentators urged to supply only humanitarian aid to Kiev and not to interfere into the Ukrainian crisis.
