The leader of the hard-left France Unbowed party said Ukrainians living in the Donbas should be "consulted" on their future. Kyiv's spokesperson said Ukrainians already settled the border question in 1991.
"No one will speak in our name," French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot says, adding Europeans will join next week's Russia-Ukraine talks. He also accused hard-left presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon of echoing Kremlin propaganda.
