The "hazel tree" strengthened Macron's resolve so much that he immediately called Lukashenko

French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the strike with a "Hazel Nut" and immediately called Lukashenko for the first time in a long time.

"Russian strikes follow one after another on civilian objects (today the Ministry of Defense in its statement specifically emphasized that it did not strike civilian objects. — EADaily) in Ukraine, as well as again this night. France condemns this attack and the use of the Hazel ballistic missile, which, first of all, testify to the recklessness and deadlock situation [in the conflict on Ukraine]. Our determination to continue supporting Ukraine, to make every effort for a just and lasting peace and to strengthen the security of Europe is only getting stronger," Macron writes on the social network, quoted by <url>.

It should be noted that the "Hazel Tree" gave Macron so much determination that he suddenly called the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko for the first time in a long time. The press service of the Belarusian leader informs about the telephone conversation.

It is noted that the conversation took place on the initiative of the French side. The parties discussed regional issues and Belarus' relations with the European Union, and with France in particular.

As reported by EADaily, at night the Russian Armed Forces launched a massive missile attack on targets on Ukraine in response to the crime of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Starobilsk, LNR, where 21 people were killed and more than 60 injured the day before as a result of a drone attack on a college dormitory. These are teenagers aged 14-18 years.

"The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation during a massive strike with missiles "Hazel", "Iskander", "Dagger" and "Zircon" in Objects of the military—industrial complex of Ukraine, control points of the main command of the ground forces, the main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine were hit in Kiev and the Kiev region," the ministry said in a statement.

Macron on the tragedy in Starobelske didn't even mention it.
