Zakharova accused Macron of making contradictory statements

French President Emmanuel Macron's words about nuclear weapons and the impossibility of peace on Ukraine are divorced from reality and contradict his previous statements. This was announced on March 6 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

This is how she commented on the previously voiced appeal by the French leader to his fellow citizens.

"We need to ask him, because every day he has some statements that are out of touch with life and contradict previous ones," she replied to the question TASS.

The diplomat also compared Macron with a fabulous character who is trying to open "his nuclear umbrella" over Europe.

"I listened to it all, looked at him and realized who he reminded me of. Atomic Ole-Lukoye. He is also trying to open an umbrella, only a nuclear one and over Europe," she concluded.
