Ukrainians bring flowers on Friday to the building of the French Embassy in Ukraine in memory of the victims of the terrorist attack who were celebrating France's national holiday, Bastille Day on the previous night.

"National Day, July 14, is very important for us, because it symbolizes our values: freedom, equality and fraternity. Those who organized the terrorist attack committed an assault on these values," the ambassador of France to Ukraine Isabelle Dumont said.

As reported, on Thursday night, a large truck drove at high speed into a crowd watching Bastille Day fireworks in Nice on the French Riviera. The truck driver, a 31-year old native of Tunisia, a French citizen, opened fire on passers-by before police shot him dead. Small arms and ammunition was found in the truck.

French President Francois Hollande called the terrorist attack in the French Nice a tragedy.

"It is definitely a terrorist act," Hollande said, in his address the French people.
