He doesn't, because France is not delivering the Mistrals as part of the sanctions on Russia.

I didnt say they were. My argument is that the French enable the Russian war machine. Just because these things aren't being used in the current conflict doens't mean they won't be used on Russia's neighbors in the future.
Countries with militaries that enable each other have tight intel relationships. This French/Russia rivalry is non-existant.

Ukrainians don't need the Russians to screw each others.Their oligarchs have been doing that for decades. The only thing that changes today is who is financing that corrupt nomenclature. The truth hurts.
You guys build warships for Putin's war machine which is murdering civilians in Ukraine, something the French knew they were going to empower someday with arms like these. You don't buy helicarriers for defense, you buy them to easily attack your neighbors. Ties between these two nations go back hundreds of years. I would absolutely not assume the FSB and DGSE/DGSI aren't talking. I would assume they are bosom buddies.
