The Kremlin reacted strongly to French President Emmanuel Macron's recent comments suggesting that France could use nuclear weapons, labeling his remarks as confrontational. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov interpreted the statement as a direct threat and accused France of wanting to prolong the conflict in Ukraine. He compared Macron to historical figures like Hitler and Napoleon, suggesting that Macron's approach lacked diplomacy. The Kremlin also expressed opposition to the deployment of a European military in Ukraine, highlighting the increased geopolitical tensions in Europe.
If he [Macron] considers us a threat, convenes a meeting of the chiefs of general staff of European countries and Britain, says it is necessary to use nuclear weapons, prepares to use nuclear weapons against Russia, this is, of course, a threat.
Unlike his predecessors, who also sought to fight with Russia - Napoleon, Hitler - Mr. Macron does not act very diplomatically. Because they stated openly: 'We must conquer Russia, we must defeat Russia.' And he apparently wants the same thing.
