Investing.com -- The French foreign ministry has asserted that Ukraine’s territorial integrity is non-negotiable, after U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy for not acknowledging Russia’s occupation of Crimea. The spokesperson of the French foreign ministry, Christophe Lemoine, communicated this stance during a weekly news conference on Thursday.
Lemoine stated, "The principle of Ukraine’s territorial integrity is not a point that can be negotiated." He also commented on Russia’s ongoing actions, stating that the country’s continuous air strikes are causing a delay in discussions.
These comments come in the wake of President Trump’s criticism of President Zelenskiy’s refusal to recognize Russia’s occupation of Crimea, a region that has been a point of contention between Ukraine and Russia. The French foreign ministry’s statement emphasizes France’s firm support for Ukraine’s territorial claims and its disapproval of Russia’s military actions in the region.
