“Neo-Nazi tendencies” and an “ambitious attempt to organize new SS units” have been attributed to the French president E. Macron by the Kremlin, with a new announcement, after E. Macron’s statements that “We are studying the sending of military forces to Ukraine if necessary”.
The representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, responded with a historical review of the fall of Berlin in 1945 and warned that the French who dare to defend Zelensky will meet the same fate.
He said specifically: “I want to remind Macron of the history of France. In April 1945, Berlin was defended by the French division SS Charlemagne (Charlemagne) and a number of others.
They also defended the “Führerbunker” itself, Hitler’s bunker. He was one of the last to be awarded the Nazi Order of the Knight’s Cross in the Third Reich.
French SS men from Charlemagne became the last defenders of the Reichstag and the Reich Chancellery.
- Emmanuel Macron, have you decided to organize the Charlemagne II (Charlemagne deux) division to defend Zelensky’s bunker?’!

It should be noted that the French SS of this corps were initially about 7,000 people and then increased to 11,000, but after their capture they were transferred to “hospitality areas” in Siberia and no one returned alive, because even France never looked for them!
- The 33rd SS Grenadier Division “Charlemagne” was a French volunteer unit (German: 33 Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS “Charlemagne”) in the Wehrmacht and later Waffen-SS units.
- Unit strength ranged from 7,340 to 11,000 in 1944.
They participated in the defense of central Berlin and the Führerbunker area and were the last to surrender during the last days of the Battle of Berlin.
At the same time, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was strongly opposed to the deployment of NATO military forces:
- “There will be no ground troops, no soldiers on Ukrainian soil sent there by European states or NATO members,” the German chancellor stressed in a speech in Freiburg.
It’s not just Soltz. In Germany, Macron’s remarks were rejected by all parties.
The head of the parliamentary group of the Christian Democrats, Thorsten Freim, emphasized that it is “out of the question to send Western ground troops to Ukraine”.
