4 Apr. (EUROPE PRESS) –

The Russian authorities have summoned this Tuesday the French charge d’affaires in Moscow, Jay Dharmadhikari, in protest against a series of publications by the French Embassy in Russia in which it denounced “atrocities committed by the Russian Armed Forces in Bucha and other Ukrainian cities”. .

Thus, the Russian authorities have transferred to Dharmadhikari “the categorical unacceptability of the unfounded and false accusations” against military personnel deployed in Ukraine, at the same time that they have taken the opportunity to accuse Paris of “prolonging hostilities” by supplying weapons to the Army ukrainian.

“Such provocative attacks by representatives of hostile countries sound even more unfounded, since so far we have not seen evidence of the so-called ‘Bucha Massacre’,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement, also asking for evidence of the death of civilians to be able to launch such accusations.

At this point, Moscow recalled that last September, the Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, proposed to the United Nations to launch an investigation to settle what happened in the city of Bucha without the Russian authorities having received any response so far. .

“To this day, Western countries just continue to indiscriminately accuse Russia of something it has not committed, while refusing to see the obvious crimes of the Kiev regime,” Russian diplomacy concluded.
