Earlier, the newspaper La Tribune, citing a document in its possession, reported that a draft revision of the military planning law, providing for an increase in defense spending by 36 billion euros by 2030, would be presented to the French Council of Ministers on Wednesday, TASS reported.

"This draft law on military planning envisages a future war against Russia," Philippot stated.

He added that any potential war on France’s eastern flank "does not look promising" and called on Paris to withdraw from NATO to avoid it.
