Russia Says Macron’s Hawkish Statements Pose ‘Strategic Problem’
- Macron has refused to rule out sending troops to Ukraine
- Envoy says Russia shut out of Paris Olympic safety planning
Alexey Meshkov, Russia’s ambassador to France, said Emmanuel Macron’s recent hawkish commentary on Russia poses “a serious strategic problem.”
Asked what would happen if France were to send troops to Ukraine, Meshkov said that “the absence of clearly defined red lines and the persistence of strategic ambiguity lead each side to assume the worst.”
