France on Tuesday said recent remarks made by Sergei Naryshkin, chief of Russia's foreign intelligence service, that any French military sent to Ukraine to help fight Russia would be a 'priority target' for Russian troops were an 'irresponsible' provocation.
"We consider these kind of provocations irresponsible", an official of the French Armed Forces Ministry said, adding the remarks were a further example of Russian 'disinformation.'
