France has been ignoring the recruitment of its nationals to fight in the Ukraine conflict, the Russian Foreign Ministry has said
The Russian Foreign Ministry has summoned French Ambassador Pierre Levy in the aftermath of the deadly missile strike on Ukraine’s city of Kharkov, raising concerns over Paris’ “growing involvement” in the Ukrainian conflict. According to the Russian military, the strike conducted earlier this week killed more than 60 foreign mercenaries, predominantly French nationals.
Officials told the envoy that Paris itself was to blame for the mass casualties among the French nationals,Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zachariah said in a statement on Friday.
France has long turned a blind eye to active work of recruitment agencies in the country, hiring mercenaries to fight on the Ukrainian side in the conflict, she added.
