Due to the French leadership’s increasingly bellicose statements and incoming information about France’s growing involvement in the conflict around Ukraine, on May 6, French Ambassador to Russia Pierre Levy was summoned to the Foreign Ministry.
The Russian side gave its fundamental assessments of Paris’s destructive and provocative line, leading to further escalation of the conflict. It was emphasised that the attempts of the French authorities to create some strategic uncertainty for Russia with their irresponsible statements about a possible dispatch of Western military contingents to Ukraine are doomed to failure. The goals and objectives of the special military operation will be achieved.
