Russia considers protests in France to be an internal affair of that country, has not interfered in other states' affairs, claims of Russia's involvement in French protests are slander, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday.

"I would like to say that Russia considers everything that happens purely an internal affair of France. We have not interfered and are not going to interfere in the internal affairs of any countries, including France," Peskov told reporters.

He said Moscow attached great importance to developing relations with Paris, and respected France's sovereignty.
