It did not matter to Russia what France and Germany thought. The fact that Zelensky was pushing for NATO membership was enough to attack Ukraine.

Obviously it did not matter to them because they did not care whether Ukraine would join NATO. However, since joining NATO was impossible, that makes their lies more clear.

What does it matter if it was lies or the truth. Result is the Ukrainian people are suffering like crazy.
