A Russian lawmaker said that his country's troops will “kill all” French soldiers that will be deployed in Ukraine, Ednews reports.

“We are going to kill all the French soldiers who come to Ukrainian soil. All of them,” Pyotr Tolstoy, a deputy head of the Russian State Duma, said in an interview with French broadcaster BFMTV.


Expressing that Russia does not care about French President Emmanuel Macron’s remarks on Paris having “no limits” in supporting Ukraine, Tolstoy said Moscow does not care about “what he says, his limits.”


Tolstoy claimed that there are currently 13,000 mercenaries in Ukraine, including 367 with French citizenship, 147 of which he claimed have already been killed.


French soldiers that want to come to Odesa are provoking a third world war, he further argued, saying: “The idea of sending French soldiers to Ukraine will end with coffins covered by the tricolor flag at Orly.”

Late last month, Macron said he has not ruled out sending Western soldiers to Ukraine “to ensure that Russia does not win this war.”

"We will do everything necessary to ensure that Russia cannot win this war," he added.


According to political sources, in a later meeting with political party representatives on March 7, Macron said that France's support for Ukraine "has no limits."
