A diplomatic exchange on X, formerly known as Twitter, has unfolded between the Russian and French embassies in Ankara, centering on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The disagreement began when the French embassy posted a message marking the fifth year of a war initially anticipated to last just three days.
Responding to the French post, the Russian embassy asserted that France is a key supporter of what it termed the “Nazi” regime in Ukraine. The Russian statement also referenced the war between France and Russia in 1812.
The exchange highlights the continued international tensions surrounding the war in Ukraine, which began in February 2022. The development underscores the deep divisions between Russia and Western nations regarding the conflict and its origins.
According to reports, the Russian embassy’s characterization of the Ukrainian government as “Nazi” echoes rhetoric previously used by Russian officials to justify the invasion of Ukraine. The reference to the 1812 conflict appears to be a historical allusion intended to underscore a long-standing rivalry between the two countries.
