Russia denies involvement in the turmoil in France – Ambassador

Russia may be accused of causing internal tension in France, but Moscow denies any involvement in the turmoil in the republic, stated Russian Ambassador in Paris Alexey Meshkov. “First of all, I want to say that the Russian Federation has no connection to what is happening in France, despite the potential accusations,” said Meshkov during a press conference. He emphasized that Russia respects the sovereignty of France and does not interfere in its internal affairs. Meshkov pointed out that any claims linking Russia to the unrest in France are unfounded and unjust. He called for a responsible and factual approach to understanding the situation.
