Iran Press/ Europe: The Russian Embassy in Paris on Thursday had posted a picture depicting a body lying on a table called "Europe" with characters representing the United States and European Union jabbing needles into it.
The picture has since been removed from the embassy's feed.
"Such messages are unacceptable," the French Foreign Ministry said in a statement adding that France made this clear to the Russian ambassador.
The drawing implied that the European continent was being destroyed by policies undertaken by the United States and the EU.
Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron announced yesterday that he is ready to talk to Russian President Vladimir Putin about the war in Ukraine.
The French president has spoken several times with Russian President Putin.
Earlier, Western leaders met in Brussels to strengthen their forces in Eastern Europe, increase military aid to Ukraine and tighten their sanctions on Russia as Moscow's military operation entered its second month. 219
