The case of Ukrainian drones, which Russia he says he shot down and that they were aiming at him Vladimir Putin“Strange to say the least,” French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonnat told France Inter today.

On Wednesday, Russia accused Ukraine of shelling the Russian president’s residence in the Kremlin with two drones. Kyiv denies this accusation.

However, Catherine Colonna abandoned the “speculation game”. The fact that the drones are reaching the Kremlin “cannot be understood under normal conditions,” she said.

Colona recalled that the Ukrainians “since yesterday officially declared that they were not involved in this event, which remains unclear.”

“Regret” about Medvedev’s statements

The French minister also deplored statements by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who yesterday called for the “destruction” of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in retaliation for this alleged attack on the Kremlin.

“Dmitry Medvedev stands out for his outrageous statements, verbal escalation that we deplore,” Colonna said. “Again, this escalation comes from Russia, it again seeks to intimidate, to find pretexts that could justify the unreasonable,” he added.

The French minister refused to refer to the case of the murder of the Ukrainian president, but recalled how “important to observe the physical integrity” of the democratically elected head of state.
