In a statement released earlier today, the French government has condemned in strongest terms the recent massive airstrikes against Ukrainian cities, which have resulted in numerous casualties. According to preliminary reports, last night’s Russian airstrikes in Kyiv left 7 dead and 44 injured.
The attacks reflect a deliberate strategy of military escalation aimed at sowing fear among the Ukrainian population, despite an ultimatum given by President Trump on July 14 to compel Russia to engage in good-faith negotiations. Since then, Russia has struck Ukrainian territory more than 3,100 times, killing over 50 civilians and injuring between 180 and 200.
These relentless attacks are a stark reminder of Russia’s rejection of any serious commitment to peace. The French government has consistently stated its support for Ukraine in its pursuit of a just and lasting peace.
France will maintain its steadfast commitment to Ukraine, working closely with international partners to promote a negotiated resolution to the conflict. The French government urges all parties involved to exercise restraint and engage in constructive dialogue to find a peaceful solution.
The situation on the ground remains fluid, with ongoing fighting between Ukrainian forces and Russian-backed separatists. The international community is called upon to support Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The French government has expressed its solidarity with the people of Ukraine and reaffirmed its commitment to upholding the principles of international law and humanitarian rights.
