Former head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, who was wounded in Donbass after being shelled by Ukrainian troops from French Caesar howitzers, sent a grenade fragment extracted from his neck to the French ambassador to Russia, Pierre Levy. He announced it on his Telegram channel.
In the accompanying letter, Rogozin wrote that he remembers with pleasure how he went with Levi to the Borodino field and to Baikonur. But now Rogozin believes that official Paris “betrayed the cause of the great de Gaulle and became one of the bloodiest states in Europe.”
Rogozin also accused France of submitting to the dictates of Washington. He added that this fragment from a French artillery gun “got lodged in the fifth cervical vertebra, just a millimeter from killing me or immobilizing me.” And two young people who once accompanied Ambassador Levi to Baikonur were killed by this projectile.
Rogozin also said that hundreds of civilians were killed by French weapons in Donetsk and the frontline cities of Novorossiya.
He asked Levy to deliver this fragment to French President Emmanuel Macron, adding that no one will escape responsibility for the war crimes of NATO countries in Donbass.
