Putin responded to Macron's statement about the threat to France from Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated the desire and desire of some people to "return to the time of Napoleon," who at the same time forgot how it ended. The president announced this on March 6 during a meeting with employees and wards of the Defenders of the Fatherland Foundation.

"There are still people who want to return to the time of Napoleon, forgetting how it ended," Putin said.

Thus, the Russian leader commented on the words of French President Emmanuel Macron that Russia had allegedly "become a threat to France and Europe."

"The mistakes of our enemies began with underestimating the character of the Russian man"

Vladimir Putin met with the wives and mothers of his fighters on the eve of March 8.

During the same meeting, Putin listened to the story of a medical woman from Tuva, Aidysmaa Mongush, about the evacuation of her husband's body from the battlefield in the area of a special military operation. After listening to the story, one of the participants of the meeting suggested that the president reward the girl for the feat. The Russian leader supported this idea.
