The fragment was handed over to the French journalist by the director of the Department of Public Security, Alexei Krasnokutsky.

The authorities of Sevastopol handed over to French journalists a fragment of the missile that attacked the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet on September 22, said the governor of the city, Mikhail Razvozhaev.


"When I found out that the journalists of the France 2 channel came to us to shoot a story about the consequences of the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Fleet Headquarters, the idea came to give them a fragment of a missile," he said.

The fragment was handed over to the French journalist by the director of the Department of Public Security, Alexei Krasnokutsky, so that some of the weapons would go "to the homeland of the missile manufacturer" and so that people in France would know about it.

"So that the French know who the leadership of their country supports," Razvozhaev said.

He admitted that the journalist Poncine Anne Audette could have been unpleasantly surprised by the fact that the missile that attacked Sevastopol turned out to be French (Storm Shadow missiles are produced by the developer of missile systems MBDA).

On the afternoon of September 22, the Ukrainian army launched a missile attack on Sevastopol. In the course of repelling the attack, five missiles were shot down.

As a result of the strike, the historical building of the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet was damaged.
