As NBN reports, this is stated in the Le Monde article with reference to the official statement of the French Ministry of Defense.
So, according to the information released, the conversation that took place on April 3 related, first of all, to the terrorist act that was carried out by criminals in the concert hall of the Crocus shopping center near Moscow.
The information released, among other things, states that the French head of the Ministry of Defense condemned the terrorist attack that was carried out in the Moscow region on March 22 by the Islamic State and expressed solidarity with the victims and their families.
Verbatim from what the French Ministry of Defense did statements:
He confirmed that our country does not have any information that there is any connection between this terrorist act and Ukraine. The minister also called on Russia to stop any instrumentalization of this event.
Sébastien Lecornu also condemned the ongoing aggressive war that the Russian Federation continues against the Ukrainian state. Moreover, he noted that official Paris will continue to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine “as long as necessary during its struggle for sovereignty and freedom in order to return peace and security to the European continent.”
Recall that we have already written earlier about Shoigu’s statement, where he said that after the terrorist attack in Crocus, the Russians allegedly had the motivation to fight against Ukraine.
