According to the US "Newsweek" report, Rogozin said that he had written to the French ambassador to Russia, Levy, accusing France of its position in the Ukraine crisis, saying that it had provided weapons to Ukraine.
At the same time, he also attached the shell fragments of the "Caesar" self-propelled artillery taken from his cervical spine in the envelope, and asked the French ambassador to hand it over to French President Macron.
Previously, on December 21, 2022, after the hotel where Rogozin was staying was shelled by the Ukrainian army, shell fragments shot into his cervical spine and suffered serious "penetrating injuries."
According to Russian media, two people were killed and many others were injured in the attack that day.
According to reports, Rogozin wrote in the letter, "Please hand over the bomb fragments removed by the surgeon from my cervical spine to Macron and tell him that France, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and other NATO countries are in Donbass. You should be held accountable for the crimes you committed.”
Asked for a response to Rogozin's letter, a spokesman for the French foreign ministry said, "We have no specific comment."
It is reported that France is one of many NATO countries providing weapons to the Kyiv army, including 18 "Caesar" self-propelled howitzers.
In October 2022, Macron had said that France would increase military aid to Kyiv following Russian airstrikes on Ukraine's energy and civilian infrastructure.
