“These strikes, the increased cooperation with North Korea, and the irresponsible rhetoric that accompanies them, are part of an unacceptable logic of escalation on the part of Russia, which continues to pursue a revisionist, brutal and imperialist design in violation sovereign rights of Ukraine and the Charter of the United Nations,” added the French president.
Putin's threat
The French president also stressed that this logic of escalation “would not get the better of our determination to continue to help Ukraine as intensely and as long as necessary, so that it can exercise its right to self-defense and that Russia's war of aggression be defeated.
After a first strike on Ukraine on November 22 with the powerful “Orechnik” hypersonic ballistic missile, Russian President Vladimir Putin threatens to repeat these shots, particularly on kyiv, or even to bomb military sites of Western countries which arm kyiv, in response to the bombings carried out by kyiv in Russia using American ATACMS and British Storm Shadow missiles. It has not yet carried out its threats, but is increasing attacks with missiles and drones on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, including with “cluster munitions”, according to kyiv.
