French fighters in Ukrainian army call out Russian ‘dead mercenaries’ disinformation The Russian defense ministry claimed to have "eliminated" some sixty French fighters in a strike on the night of January 16-17 in Kharkiv, northeast Ukraine. Béranger Minaud, a 45-year-old Frenchman who fought with the Ukrainian armed forces and quoted in the Russian ministry's kill list, claims to be "alive and well". Paris has identified a "coordinated Russian maneuver" to spread false information implicating France, such as the alleged presence of French "mercenaries" fighting for Kiev in Ukraine.
