Vladimir Putin – Russia reminds Emmanuel Macron of Napoleon Bonaparte

Russia rebuked Emmanuel Macron on Sunday for saying he wanted to see Russia defeated, saying Moscow still remembers the fate of Napoleon Bonaparte and accusing the French president of duplicitous diplomacy with the Kremlin. Macron told the newspaper The Sunday Paperthat France wanted Russia to be defeated in the Ukraine, but never to crush it.

About Never: France didn’t start with Macron, and Napoleon’s state-revered remains are in the center of Paris. France and Russia must understand this, said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.

In general, Macron is unappreciated, he said, adding that his comments showed the West had engaged in discussions about regime change in Russia, while Macron had repeatedly requested meetings with the Russian leadership.

the US warned

The Kremlin on Sunday singled out the US as the main provocateur of international tensions for approving attacks on Crimea, warning that the statements on the peninsula underlined the depth of the rift between the two countries.
