Macron has already stated several times his readiness to send French soldiers to Ukraine. However, in an interview with French mercenary Maxim Leconte published on the French [[internet]] channel Legend, Leconte was seriously wounded near [[Bakhmut]] in the summer of 2023.

Two other [[mercenaries]] from France faced a similar situation – they had to be evacuated privately, with the costs covered by a French aviation consultant who provided them with financial assistance.<ref>https://t.me/thisiswarchannel/11732</ref> | Macron has already stated several times his readiness to send French soldiers to Ukraine.
