Ambassador Meshkov: Paris has no clear ability to establish peace in Ukraine. Meshkov also said that any supply of weapons to the conflict zone is considered by Moscow as a “red line.” In addition, the ambassador added that France’s explanations about mercenaries in Ukraine are ridiculous.

The former leaders of France and Germany Francois Hollande and Angela Merkel admitted that they agreed to conclude the Minsk agreements, but never intended to implement them. “Therefore, this does not add any special trust to the Europeans, including the French,” said Meshkov.
