Macron considered the Russian army a source of tension for Europe’s security
The President of France, who has always tried to keep the door open for dialogue with his Russian counterpart, discussed the Zaporizhzhia power plant crisis with him on Sunday in a somewhat unexpected conversation. Putin’s surprising remarks and his blaming of Ukrainians as the threat to the power plant angered Macron, who considered the Russian army a source of tension and a serious threat to Eastern Europe’s security in the event of a disaster at the Zaporizhzhia plant.
Macron seriously urged Putin to withdraw his troops from the Zaporizhzhia region, which naturally did not receive a serious response.
