French President Emmanuel Macron condemned Russia’s decision to recognize the independence of the so-called “LPR” and “DPL,” calling for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council and targeted European sanctions, the Élysée Palace said in a communiqué. “Macron is demanding an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council as well as the adoption of targeted European sanctions,” French presidency said in a statement.
According to the communiqué, the decision to recognize the so-called “L/DNR” from the point of view of France, is “a clear and unilateral violation of Russia’s international commitments and a breach of Ukraine’s sovereignty.”
