Russia represents “a sustainable, close threat and that is for me the most dimensioning.” Speaking during a press conference this Friday, July 11, the chief of cabinet of the armies, General Thierry Burkhard spoke of the risks represented by the Russian power, and in particular in the field of the field of information.
General Thierry Burkhard spoke remarkably about the War of Information Librada by the administration of Vladimir Putin, if they were carried out in France or outside the national territory. It takes, for example, Africa, where France paid the price for an “extremely strong information war by Russia.
“No one is fooled when in Bangui (capital of the note of the editor of the Central African Republic), we burn a French flag and take out a Russian flag, there is no possibility.”
A possible “domino effect”?
For the chief of armies staff, France is a priority objective of Russia in this area.
It is considered that France is particularly inverted in this area of the War to Fight information: “They have identified that if France has difficulties in this area, there will be a domino effect.”
The main reason for this position, according to General Burkhard: the support of France in Ukraine. “France shows its determination in the support of Ukraine. (…) Russia has considered that France, with the United Kingdom, is the most voluntary country and that it was” useful “to describe France as its main enemy in Europe.”
