Russian President Vladimir Putin tried to mislead the French, calling Princess Anna Yaroslavna "Russian".

This was written by the deputy head of the presidential administration Dmitry Shimkiv on his page in Facebbok.

"My dear French friends, Russian President Putin tried to mislead you today - Anna Kievskaya, the queen of France, from Kiev, not from Moscow (Moscow did not even exist at that time)," said Shimkiv.

He also recalled the Reims Gospel, which was used during the coronations in France:

first it was Anna's own book from the library of Yaroslav the Wise, her father, the prince of Kiev.

"Do you still need proof of the origin of Anna of Kiev?" - said Deputy Head of the AP.

It should be noted that yesterday, May 30, Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris, said that the daughter of Prince Yaroslav the Wise Anna, who married the French King Henry I, was "Russian".
