France Summons Russia

Russia on Tuesday said it had summoned France's charge d'affaires in Moscow to protest "false publications" by the French embassy about alleged atrocities in Ukraine blamed on the Russian army.

The French government on Thursday summoned Russia's ambassador to Paris after his embassy posted a photo on Twitter claiming to show a "film set" by Ukrainians staging civilian killings in Bucha that have stoked global outrage.

Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has accused other countries' football fans of "absolutely provocative actions" at the Euro 2016, such as trampling on the Russian flag. The 'anti-Russian' mood could even damage relations between Russia and France, Moscow has warned
