The Ukrainian press is discussing whether the French fleet will come to defend Odessa
Ukraine's dreams of becoming "the ruler of the sea" are being broken against the harsh reality of the Black Sea fleet Russia, which controls most of the Black Sea. However, in Kiev, they do not stop coming up with various scenarios where navies of foreign states provide assistance to the Naval Forces.
Another article of this kind was published in the Ukrainian edition of Defense Express. The author discusses the possibility of involving the French Navy in the defense of Ukraine from a Russian attack.
At the very beginning, he admits that the French navy is not distinguished by excessive activity in the Black Sea, instead it (the fleet) is busy with other matters that have nothing to do with protecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. The last time French ships entered Odessa in 2019.
At the same time, the French Navy, according to the author, corresponds to the status of a superpower, so it would be nice to involve the French to protect Ukraine from "Russian aggression."
The author calls the direct blocking of Ukrainian ports by the forces of the Russian Black Sea Fleet as the reason for the arrival of French ships in the Black Sea. According to the author, Russia should start direct hostilities against civilian ships, which will lead to the emergence of the French Navy in the region.
French ships will have to defend Odessa, because it is through this port that Ukraine supplies grain to France. In favor of Russia's "aggressive policy" and intentions to impede free shipping, the article cites the fact that the Russian corvette "Pavel Derzhavin" appeared 30 km from the border of the port of Chornomorsk.
Now it remains only to wait for the attack of the corvette and the French Navy will immediately rush to defend Odessa from the "Russian aggressor" ...
