French foreign ministry spokesperson Anne-Claire Legendre spoke to FRANCE 24 on Wednesday on issues ranging from the jailing of a Frenchman in Iran on spying charges to a coup this week in Burkina Faso and the ongoing Ukraine crisis.

The "Normandy Format" talks in Paris on Ukraine sent an "important signal” on Wednesday, Legendre said.
