A French colonel identified as Herve Carresse said the situation in Kiev suggests the Ukrainian government's collapse may be approaching, according to a report published by Russian state news agency TASS.

Carresse was quoted as saying that people in Ukraine are being taken off the streets and sent to the front lines with little to no training. TASS did not provide additional detail on the circumstances of the interview, Carresse's current role, or how he obtained the information he described.

The claims could not be independently verified. TASS is a Russian state-controlled news agency, and its reporting on the Ukraine conflict has frequently reflected positions aligned with the Russian government.

Ukrainian officials have previously acknowledged challenges with military mobilization amid the ongoing conflict with Russia, though they have not confirmed the specific characterization of conscription practices described in the TASS report.

There was no immediate response from Ukrainian authorities to the claims attributed to Carresse.
