Coffins in the Heart of Paris... What's the Story?

French police detained three activists who placed 5 coffins and a sign reading "French soldiers killed in Ukraine" on the sidewalk near the Eiffel Tower in Paris today, Sunday. Local media reported that the coffins were covered with French flags, and it later turned out that they contained quantities of plaster. The police stated that the detainees, linked to organizing the event, hold German, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian nationalities. The Paris prosecutor's office has opened an investigation for "intentional violence." Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron stated that he would send troops to Ukraine at Kyiv's request if the Russian army breached Ukrainian defenses.
