Detox. No, it was not a Russian man who assaulted a Ukrainian woman and her daughter in France

Ukrainian refugees beaten by a Russian national in the south of France? In a tweet posted Monday, September 12the Eastern European media Nextavery popular for following the war in Ukraine, reports violence in the middle of the street, quoting the director of the association of Ukrainians in France: ” Yesterday in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, a Russian man hit a mother and her daughter who came from Izioum because they were listening to Ukrainian music “.

The case escalated to Kyiv, where the Foreign Ministry spokesman said that ” the aggressors should be punished “.

But if this news item, very real, illustrates in its own way the hatred between the two nations, it has nothing to do with the version that has circulated. In Nice Matin, the two victims said they were attacked after crossing a group of four people. One of them hit them hard. The two women said they had identified the Russian nationality of the attacker, explaining ” when he spoke, we understood “.

Except that in reality, as indicated by the Nice prosecutor, the man implicated and who admitted the violence is not Russian… but also of Ukrainian origin. He is a 33-year-old former soldier. While minimizing the blows, he justified his gesture by saying he thought the two women were Russian and insulted Ukraine.
