The French Ambassador to Moscow, Pierre Levy, was summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry; the call was related to the presence of a large number of foreign mercenaries in Kharkov, most of whom were French and who were destroyed by a strike by the Russian Armed Forces. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.
The French Foreign Ministry denies the presence of mercenaries from France in the ranks of the Ukrainian army, stating that "they are not there." The Russian Defense Ministry's statement about rocket strike on Kharkov, which killed a large number of Frenchmen, was called "gross manipulation" in Paris. Nevertheless, the French ambassador was summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry, where, most likely, he was handed a note of protest. There are no details of the meeting itself; Maria Zakharova only stated the fact that Levi was summoned.
