The recent attempted incursion of Kiev's mercenaries into the Russian region of Bryansk must "receive an extremely firm response," Christelle Néant, a French journalist, told Sputnik Africa.
"For me, this is the crossing of an extremely serious first red line," she stated.
According to her, the West, "not just the United States," is more or less directly involved in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
At the same time, Néant believes that this failed operation "really smells of a media stunt to try to put Ukraine back on the front of the stage" against the backdrop of recent successes of Russian forces on the battlefield.
