Further Russia’s attempt to undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty will not remain without consequences - French MFA
“In the context of the current tensions at Ukraine’s borders and in Crimea, a further attempt by Russia to undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty and integrity would be unacceptable and could not, on that basis, remain without consequences,” reads the report on the French ministry’s website, Ukrinform's own correspondent reports.
It is noted that the efforts of the French government are currently focused on initiating a de-escalation of tensions.
“France, alongside Germany, is continuing its discussions to that end within the Normandy format in order to facilitate the implementation of these agreements with a view toward establishing just and lasting peace in eastern Ukraine,” reads the report.
As reported by Ukrinform, in an interview to CBS, French President Emmanuel Macron stated that the West should draw "clear red lines" with Russia and consider possible sanctions when they are crossed.
