Le Figaro reported that under the framework of this NATO mission, France has deployed 350 soldiers in Romania and plans to deploy 12 VBCI wheeled infantry fighting vehicles and 12 Leclerc tanks in the next few weeks. It is understood that the mission was launched on February 28 in response to Russia's military action in Ukraine, with the aim of gradually strengthening the defense of the eastern flank of NATO.
Two French MPs Bastien Lachaud and Aurélien Saintoul said, "We face serious problems in logistics and support." They mentioned that French soldiers received "extremely frugal" food, the barracks they lived in were unstable heating, bed bugs were present, and sanitation facilities were poor.
Two MPs said that in fact, "these French soldiers have been deployed in Romania for more than 8 months, so the problem is even worse... It is a deterrence and defense mission, not a combat mission, so we cannot make any excuses for the remoteness." They added, "When our soldiers feel cold and empty, what dissuasion message will we send to Russia?" As a member of the National Defense Committee of the French National Assembly, the two MPs said they would raise the matter on the committee.
Russian News Agency mentioned that French Defense Minister Sebastian Le Corni visited the Romanian capital Bucharest last week with the goal of setting up a new military base near the country's city Qinku, and deploying 750 French soldiers there. France is also commanding NATO's mission Aigle in Romania, which started shortly after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Another 500 French soldiers and 300 Belgian soldiers were sent to a military base near the city of Constanta, Romania, and later, the Dutch also sent soldiers to join. (Editor: HHJ)
