French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot expressed strong condemnation regarding the night attack by Russia on Ukraine on the night of June 17. He stated on social media about the inadmissibility of Kremlin's actions.

“The lethal attack in Ukraine by the regime of Vladimir Putin, whose cruelty and cynicism truly knows no bounds. Kremlin, which wants to establish peace in the Middle East: start with Ukraine.”

Summary: The head of the French Foreign Ministry made a resolute statement condemning Russia's aggressive actions against Ukraine. The attack that occurred in June received high marks for its scale and the danger it poses to the region.
