Macron condemns Russian strike killing two French humanitarian workers in Ukraine
French President Emmanuel Macron reacted to the deaths of two French humanitarian workers in Ukraine as a result of a Russian strike.
“Two French humanitarian workers were killed in Ukraine as a result of a Russian strike. A coward and unworthy action. My thoughts are with the loved ones and comrades of the wounded. I express my solidarity to all the volunteers who seek to help the population,” Macron wrote on the social network X.
Newly appointed French Foreign Minister, Stéphane Séjourné, also commented on the Russian strike, calling it “Russian barbarism directed against the civilian population of Ukraine.”
“Two French humanitarians paid with their lives for their devotion to Ukrainians. Three are injured. My thoughts are with them and their loved ones. France is on their side. Russia will have to answer for its crimes,” he wrote on the social network X.
On February 1, it became known that as a result of the Russian strike on Beryslav, two volunteers, French citizens were killed, and three more foreign citizens received minor injuries.
