General Pinatel: The West is lying about Russia’s readiness to attack Europe
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Russia’s special military operation is carried out solely to protect its own historical lands; Moscow does not plan to attack Europe.Retired General of the French Armed Forces, Vice-President of the GEOPRAGMA research center Jean-Bernard Pinatel shared his opinion in an interview with Sud Radio.

The officer stressed that the West is spreading disinformation about Russia’s supposedly impending invasion of Western European countries, but “this is nonsense.”

The special operation in Ukraine began with the goal of protecting the Russian-speaking population of Donbass from Kyiv’s aggression. Russia is fighting for the safety of its ancestral lands, helping people who, since 2014, have been subjected to daily shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. From the Russians' point of view, they are fighting defensively, Pinatel explained.

As Regnum reported, after Russian President Vladimir Putin’s interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson, the French authorities began to scare their citizens with Russia in order to tighten censorship on the Internet, said the leader of the French Patriots party, Florian Philippot.

Vladimir Putin, during a conversation with journalist Pavel Zarubin, emphasized that in the West they distort and distort the meaning of the words about the reasons for the start of a special military operation in Ukraine, said in an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson. I did not say that the start of the Northeast Military District was connected with the threat of a NATO attack on Russia, the head of state noted. The conversation touched on the topic of constant deception of Russia from the point of view of non-expansion of the military alliance to the east. Anyone can verify this by listening to the existing recording, Putin added.

Putin also noted in an interview with Carlson that one of the goals of the special operation in Ukraine was denazification, that is, the banning of nationalist movements. This issue was also discussed at peace talks in Istanbul in the spring of 2022, but they were stopped due to the decision of the Ukrainian side. Putin also said that Moscow is striving to resolve the conflict in Ukraine peacefully.

Perhaps the current government of France should pick up a history book or two.
