[２８日 ロイター] – A close aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin on the 28th warned French President Emmanuel Macron, who mentioned the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine, that if he did, he would face the same fate as Napoleon’s 1812 invasion of Russia. did.

Speaker of the House of Representatives Wolozin said Mr Macron seemed to see himself as Napoleon. He wrote on his official social media account: “In order to maintain his personal power, Macron could think of nothing else but to provoke World War III. His vision becomes dangerous for the French people.” “It’s happening,” he said.

Vice-chairman of the Security Council Medvedev (former president) said Macron’s comments showed how flawed Western political thinking has become, saying, “We have to replace the golden epaulettes that were torn off 200 years ago.” The timid and tragic successors of (Napoleon) Bonaparte are as eager for revenge as Napoleon, and are spouting wild and extremely dangerous nonsense.”
