Details : Russia summoned the French ambassador to Moscow yesterday to decry France’s "provocative" policy.
Russia’s actions were triggered by remarks made by French President Emmanuel Macron, who recently reopened the discussion about Western troops possibly being sent to Ukraine.
"France notes that diplomatic channels have once again been hijacked in order to manipulate information and engage in intimidation," the French Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The French ministry said that the Russian Foreign Ministry had "once again reversed responsibilities" and was trying to accuse Western countries of threatening Russia when it is Russia that has been waging a war of aggression against Ukraine and pursuing aggressive actions aimed at destabilising European countries through cyberattacks and other hybrid operations.
"France will continue to support Ukraine in the long term as it defends its sovereignty and territorial integrity against Russian aggression," the French Foreign Ministry stressed.
Background :
- During a visit to Kyiv on 3 May, UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron said that Ukraine has the right to use weapons provided by the UK to strike targets inside Russia "just as Russia is striking inside Ukraine" using weapons supplied by Iran and North Korea.
- Cameron’s statement provoked an outraged response from the Russian Foreign Ministry, whose representatives issued a number of threats directed at the UK.
