French President Calls Aid Workers Killed In Ukraine ‘Outrageous’

French President Emmanuel Macron acknowledged on Friday that two French aid workers were murdered in a Russian strike in Ukraine, calling the incident outrageous.

Ukrainian officials stated the two men were killed in a recent drone attack in southern Ukraine.

French President, Emmanuel Macron tweeted, “Two French aid workers have been killed in Ukraine by a Russian strike. A cowardly and outrageous act. My solidarity goes out to all the volunteers who are committed to helping people”, through his official ‘X’ handle.

“Russia will have to answer for its crimes”, said Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne.

Ukrainian officials say that two French nationals were killed and three other foreigners injured on Thursday in Beryslav, near the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson.

Beryslav, located on the Dnipro River near the battle lines, has been routinely targeted by Russian drones and artillery.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed appreciation for the Frenchmen’s work in his war-torn country.
