russia summoned the french ambassador to moscow on Friday after comments it called "unacceptable" by the head of french diplomacy, stéphane sejourne, who said on Monday that Paris no longer has "interest" in negotiations with moscow.
"The French ambassador was informed of the inadmissibility of such statements, which have nothing to do with reality," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement, condemning Paris' "deliberate and intentional actions" aimed at "undermining" the very possibility of any dialogue between the two countries.
