The report by the French TV channel France 24 about Russian troops preparing to kill Ukrainians is a disgrace to journalism, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleh Nikolenko has said.

"Going to the occupied territory without the consent of Ukraine is a violation of Ukrainian law, and those involved in such actions will be held accountable under the law," Nikolenko said.

A film crew from France 24 TV visited a camp where Russian occupying troops are being trained.

The story was published on the channel's website on 13 April. It does not mention the fact that the Russian military is carrying out illegal aggression against Ukraine, but elements of Russian propaganda can be seen. In particular, the Russians say that their weapons are better than Western ones, and one of the Russian soldiers is wearing a cap with the Z symbol and symbols of the USSR.

The journalist also quoted his "character" as calling the Ukrainian offensive "hostile".
