“All participants in this “show” deliberately do this; everyone is trying to play their own card. The visit of ten deputies is being presented as a huge diplomatic victory and a rethinking of relations with France. In fact, this is an attempt to pass off wishful thinking as reality. Because these people do not represent the mainstream of French politics. French policy towards Ukraine and annexed Crimea remains unchanged. And the decisive reaction of French official circles, which we saw after this information hit the news, once again confirms that France remains a reliable partner of Ukraine,” the official said.
He also said that the foreign ministers of Ukraine and France had recently had a conversation and Pavel Klimkin thanked his French colleague for his fundamental support.
