Russia’s Foreign Ministry on Friday accused French President Emmanuel Macron of making “vulgar insults” after he described President Vladimir Putin as a “predator” and an “ogre.”
Macron, speaking to broadcaster LCI last week, warned European leaders not to trust Putin. “For his own survival, he needs to keep eating… That means he is a predator, an ogre at our gates,” the French president said.
He made the remarks following a summit in Washington with U.S. President Donald Trump, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky and European allies.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told a televised briefing that the comments “cross the line of not just reasonableness, but decency, becoming vulgar insults against Russia and its people.”
Moscow has frequently criticized France’s backing of Ukraine. Paris has been one of Kyiv’s strongest supporters since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022, providing weapons and financial aid.
I love it. It warms the heart when a Western leader emerges from his or her shell to expose a truth in a down-to-earth manner. And, it’s always a pleasure to see the cockroaches get angry.
Well done, Mr. Macron.
If she thinks that’s an insult, she should read a few comments from our site. 🤣
“cross the line of not just reasonableness, but decency, becoming vulgar insults against Russia and its people.”
Insulting subhuman trash is far worse than deliberately targetting innocent civilians sleeping, isn’t it Maria?
