French military spy chief quits after Ukraine failings, sources say
The Guardian says France‘s military intelligence chief is leaving his post after Paris failed to accurately predict – in contrast with western allies – that Russia would launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, several sources with knowledge of his exit have said.
Gen Eric Vidaud, who has led the Directorate of Military Intelligence (DRM) since only last summer, is to immediately step down from his post, a military source, who asked not to be named, told AFP.
The source confirmed a report on L’Opinion website citing an internal defence ministry investigation that criticised “insufficient briefings” and “failure to master the issues”.
