French military in Ukraine would be 'legitimate target' for Russia: Lavrov
Russia's foreign minister Sergey Lavrov also dismissed the Ukraine peace security conference due to take place in Switzerland in July, while touring Africa.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov blamed the U.S and said that U.S sanctions have exacerbated aviation safety issues, in reference to the helicopter crash that killed Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi. Iranian media reported that images from the crash site showed the U.S.-made Bell 212 helicopter, which Raisi was travelling on, had slammed into a mountain peak. However, there has been no official determination regarding the cause of the crash.

Ukraineās top commander, Aleksandr Syrsky, is reportedly ready to lay down arms and capitulate to Russia, according to a claim made by a lawmaker from President Vladimir Zelenskyās party. The claim was made by MP Mariana Bezuglaya from the āServant of the Peopleā party, who is also the deputy chair of the National Security, Defense, and Intelligence Committee.
Syrsky, who became Ukraineās highest-ranking general in early February, succeeded Valery Zaluzhny, the former general who oversaw last yearās unsuccessful attempts to repel Russian forces. Bezuglaya accused Syrsky and Zaluzhny of secretly colluding to prevent a Ukrainian victory, stating that the two generals belong to a āgeneralsā mafiaā that is more interested in protecting their own privileges than in defeating Russia.
