France condemns the wide-scale attacks on Kyiv

Paris, July 2 (KUNA) -- France strongly condemned on Thursday the large-scale missile attacks that targeted the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, and resulted in the deaths of more than ten people. The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated in a press release that these attacks on civilian infrastructure once again demonstrated what it described as “Russia’s disregard for international humanitarian law, its lack of willingness to negotiate in good faith, and its determination to continue its aggressive war against Ukraine.” The statement noted that France stands in solidarity with Ukraine and its people, adding that “the French Republic extends its sincere condolences to the victims’ families and wishes a speedy recovery to the injured.” France reaffirmed that it stands by Ukraine more than ever and will continue, together with all its partners, to provide support to help achieve a just and lasting peace.
