But according to Parliament members, France faced a serious problem in terms of logistics and support and pointed out that the food of the French army in Romania is very poor.

"This was a defensive deterrence mission, not a combat mission," stated the PMs, questioning what message Russia was receiving if French soldiers lived in such conditions.

According to the report, the country officials threatened to report this situation to the head of the Defense Committee of the French Parliament.
