French Ambassador to the US Bill: Paris has no taboo on supporting Kiev

MOSCOW, June 2 – RIA Novosti. France has no taboo on supporting Ukraine, declaration Laurent Bill, the French Ambassador to the US, stated that Paris wanted to prevent the escalation of the conflict.

“We have no taboo on supporting Ukraine. Sometimes we even set an example by supplying (Kiev) CAESAR with self-propelled guns … We don’t want to escalate tensions, but we also don’t want to accept a Russian offensive.” “Victory is victory,” the ambassador said in an interview with Bloomberg agency, in response to a question whether the French government fears an escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine because of its support for Kiev.

Asked if Ukraine’s attacks on Russian territory were acceptable, Biley said, “France wants to support Kiev and prevent escalation, but we also want Ukraine to make peace on its own terms at some point.”

Russia sent a note to NATO countries for the supply of weapons to Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that any cargo containing weapons for Ukraine would become a legitimate target for Russia. Russia’s Foreign Ministry said NATO countries were “playing with fire” by supplying weapons to Ukraine. The Kremlin stated that pumping weapons into Ukraine from the West did not contribute to the success of the Russia-Ukraine negotiations and would have a negative impact. Lavrov also noted that the United States and NATO are directly involved in the conflict in Ukraine, “including not only the supply of weapons, but also the training of personnel … in Britain, Germany, Italy and other countries.”
