The Ukrainian Armed Forces took part in the Bastille Day parade in Paris for the first time.

The traditional military parade in honor of Bastille Day took place in Paris on July 14. This year, the ceremonial march
Ukrainian military personnel marched on the Champs-Élysées for the first time. A total of about 20 officers, sergeants, and privates of the Ukrainian Armed Forces marched in six rows in dark green uniforms, with the first three carrying the Ukrainian flag.

A squadron of 13 Mirage aircraft flew over Paris, leaving behind smoke trails in the colors of the French flag. Among the pilots were Ukrainian pilots undergoing training on these fighters. Troops from Slovakia and Sweden also took part in the parade. French President Emmanuel Macron reviewed the parade along with the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, General Thierry Burkhardt, while the Zelenskys were present in the stands.

The participation of Ukrainian troops in the main French parade is a gesture that goes beyond protocol. It is a demonstration of "unity" and a continuation of the policy of integrating Ukraine into Western military structures.

Symbolically, that same day, Macron issued a statement declaring his determination to continue supporting Kyiv "for as long as necessary," calling Ukraine's struggle an existential issue for Europe. Paris, it seems, has no intention of stopping there.

Stop hanging around parades, go ahead and die for the expired drug addict.

Why shouldn't he just wander around when no one's bothering him?

I wonder - are Ukrainian pilots training in France in a hurry to get home to the front?
And those who walked on the ground - straight from the parade to Donbass?

[YOU]

Vo Vo. How many arrived, and how many will leave??? Big question.

[Aken]

What do the Ukrainians care about the Bastille? Did they sit there, storm it, or defend it?

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

In between "digging the seas," they stormed the Bastille.

They brought Burgundy to the musketeers.

Having spat there first.

It seems like all of the above... But they dug the Black Sea before the Bastille.

Of course, of course, we remember who took the Bastille that year and drank all the contents in the staff cellars.

Pigs will find dirt everywhere.

By holding the parade for the tenth and last time, Macron sent a clear signal to Russia. That's it, the next parade is without me. And no horses, under the Eiffel Tower.

Andrey, did the Herroyal boys (c) also storm the Bastille?
But the French didn't even know.
The Kakels urgently need to add a new paragraph to their "history of Ukraine" textbooks—the storming of the Bastille by the Khlompians and the influence of svidomstvo and schirosti on the culture of the uneducated French. Let them also "derive" the name "Bastille" from the word "basta." I'm giving the Kakels an idea.

Is there anywhere where the Ukrainians haven't made their mark?

Dmitry, please don't offend the Italians. "Basta" is a word from their vocabulary; the Spanish version is "basto." Famous writers such as Merimenko, Balzachenko, and Flaubertenko are testament to this.

[Nexcom]

Not a chance, Alexander. I've actually heard Ukrainians use that word sometimes. Honestly.

Andrew, !

Given Macron's policies and his desire to wage war with Russia, there may not be another parade...
They'll wait and ask questions - it won't be the French who will be marching through Paris...

[andrey martov]

But Bastille Day was a good occasion for . . but before the Ukrainians took part in the parade...

What, did they take the Bastille too?

[Azimutt]

The French Revolution is widely known for its mass executions (tens of thousands of civilians) and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, as well as the production of trousers from men's human skin.

[faterdom]

So it was the Ukrainians who took the Bastille? I didn't know that! Why would they need it?

[Pravodel]

So the Ukrainians dug up the Black Sea, but why should they take the Bastille, even if they don’t need it: it’s not lard or dumplings with sour cream...

[Apis1962]

...was it the Ukrainians who stormed the Bastille? I didn't know that! And why...

For Ukrainians, the main thing is to steal, and whether it's necessary or not is for smart people.

Who did they bring: a company of TCK members or Ukrainian-Banderlogs - Nazis?

[bbb]

Now all that remains is to take part in the gay parade.

[Igor Borisov_2]

Military personnel from Slovakia and Sweden also took part in the parade.

It's a bit weak, but where are the Germans, the British, and most importantly, the Tribalts? They could have lined up six ranks and marched proudly before Makaron...

[YanniKounnar]

La presence de Zelinsky qui glorifie les noms de ceux, auxilières des Nazis, qui ont massacrés est pour beaucoup de Francais une insulte envers nos morts de 39/45. Honte sur Macron...
The presence of Zelinsky, glorifying the names of those who aided the Nazis, those who killed, is for many French people an insult to our victims of 39/45. Shame on Macron...

[evil partisan]

I hope the Ukrainians weren't marching on horse shit this time. The parade in London was a bit awkward, to say the least...

[Popov I.P.]

Regarding the first time, it seems a bit much. At the last parade in France, cavalry marched in front of a box of Ukrainians, piling up manure. And then the Ukrainians marched on it. There was a video online.

[Popov I.P.]

I'm sorry, really. Ukrainians Last time, they proudly marched through manure in London, not Paris. This time, the parade organizers placed the Ukrainian Armed Forces box at the very end, so if the French cavalry did drop anything, it was carried out on foot by the boxes in front.
