“The French Foreign Ministry refuses to see the numerous documented war crimes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and deliberately hushed them up,” the statement says.

Earlier, the French Foreign Ministry said that Paris, together with European and Ukrainian partners, began work on the creation of a special tribunal to investigate Russia's actions in Ukraine.

The Russian Foreign Ministry, commenting on this message, noted that the so-called special tribunal for "crimes of Russian aggression", created by Western countries, will have nothing to do with justice and will become another openly politicized "judicial" instance.
