"The only #imperial power I see in #Europe today is #Russia." - President #Macron reacted to Lavrov's words that he is "a descendant of #Napoleon and #Hitler."

During the briefing after the #EU emergency summit on defense and #Ukraine support, President Macron also #emphasized that it is #impossible to conclude an #agreement on ending the war without #security #guarantees for Ukraine.

"I know President Putin well, so if he reacts like this, it's because he knows I've spoken the #truth and that I know he can and has betrayed the agreements he signs. I'm here to testify to that, since Chancellor #Merkel and I were the #guarantors, through the #Normandy process, of the #Minsk agreements, which he deliberately #violated," Emmanuel Macron said.
