The Russian Embassy in France said it was ready to confront any anti-Russian actions

The Russian embassy in Paris has no information regarding possible provocations by pro-Ukrainian activists on February 24 - the day of the third anniversary of the start of the special operation, the diplomatic mission told Izvestia.

"It is not a question of whether we expect provocations from so-called pro-Ukrainian activists, but about the embassy's readiness to effectively counter any anti-Russian actions. We are ready for this," the diplomats said.

According to media reports, marches in support of Ukraine will be held that day in Nantes, Le Mans and a number of other cities in France. A procession was held in Paris on February 23.

"The Kiev regime is a Nazi regime because it has launched an offensive against everything Russian."
