France has urged Russian authorities to reconsider their decision to take control of several subsidiaries owned by French companies. This move by Russia was justified based on the subsidiaries' ties to countries it considers "unfriendly." According to a joint statement from France’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Economy, France strongly opposes what it describes as the "temporary administration without justification" of these Russian-based subsidiaries belonging to French and other European firms. The statement emphasized that France is maintaining close communication with the affected companies and is calling on Russian officials to reverse their decision. This development comes amid growing tensions between France and Russia, particularly over issues related to international relations and economic sanctions. France is seeking clarity and resolution to protect the interests of its businesses operating in Russia. The situation highlights the broader economic and political challenges faced by foreign companies in Russia, especially as the country continues to implement policies that affect foreign ownership and operations. France is likely to continue monitoring the situation closely and may take further diplomatic steps if necessary. More details about this issue are expected to be provided soon by BFM, a French television channel known for its news coverage. The upcoming report may offer additional insights into the implications of Russia’s actions and France’s response.
