French parliamentarians will not compromise on respect for international law and the territorial integrity of Ukraine which has been violated by Russia's full-scale invasion, President of the National Assembly of France Yaël Braun-Pivet has said.

"More than two years ago, in gross violation of all principles of international law, Russia unleashed a war of aggression against your country. Since then, with exemplary courage, Ukraine has been standing strong," she said, speaking on Friday, together with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, before the lower house of the French Parliament.

Braun-Pivet emphasized that "this is a fight to defend the values on which our democracy is based, and in this fight France and its National Assembly stand by your side."

She also noted that the parliaments of Ukraine and France have only become closer during Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine.

The President of the National Assembly reminded those present of how the President of Ukraine addressed French parliamentarians via video link a month after the start of the war, as well as the reception in France of Verkhovna Rada Chairman Ruslan Stefanchuk. She also told French MPs about her visits to Ukraine.

"What we saw [then in Ukraine] strengthened our determination to act," Braun-Pivet said, adding that it was in the hall of the National Assembly of the French Parliament that at one time MPs approved sanctions against Russia, condemned the forced deportation of Ukrainian children, and voted in favor of the text on adding the Wagner Private Military Company to the list of terrorist organizations.

"France and its parliamentarians will not compromise on compliance with international law and the territorial integrity of Ukraine, because the French admire the strength and resilience of the Ukrainian people, because the future of our democratic values is being decided on your land. We will never stop supporting your country," she said.
