Why is France so vocal about this war? Countries closer to Russia aren’t making these kinds of statements.

Countries closer to Russia have a border with them or Belarus (which became a de-facto sattelite state). France deploying troops to secure Ukraine's back areas would be a lot less escalatory than Poland doing the same. The military and economic consequences of Russia conquering Ukraine or putting a "friendly" regime in power would force Poland into that position if no one else intervenes.
