The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reacted to the France 24 story filmed in a Russian military camp
This is a disgrace for journalism, and traveling to the occupied territories without Ukraine's consent is a violation of the law, the Foreign Ministry emphasized
The crew of the French TV channel France 24 recorded a story about a military camp of Russian troops. The story, titled "War in Ukraine: Russian troops prepare for battle before counteroffensive," does not mention that the Russian military is carrying out illegal aggression against Ukraine.

The spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Oleh Nikolenko, said that the France 24 story about Russian troops preparing to kill Ukrainians is a disgrace to journalism, and that traveling to the occupied territories without Ukraine's consent is a violation of the law.
"France 24's story about Russian troops preparing to kill Ukrainians is a disgrace to journalism. Traveling to the occupied territories without the consent of Ukraine is a violation of Ukrainian law, and those involved in such actions will be held accountable under the law," Nikolenko tweeted.
Ukraine's Ambassador to France Vadym Omelchenko also reacted to the TV channel's report.
"A bad example of the so-called 'neutral journalism': France 24's report from the perspective of the occupiers, who are learning to kill Ukrainians (and preparing for the next Bucha). It's incredible to imagine such a report from the perspective of the Nazis in Normandy on the eve of the D-Day landings. Am I wrong, or is it normal? Moreover, speaking of the Ukrainian army, the journalist mentions the "enemy counteroffensive," the ambassador wrote.
The video is currently unavailable on the TV channel's website.
