French President Emmanuel Macron lashed out at Russia following US President Donald Trump’s confrontation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The French President called Russia the aggressor and Ukraine the aggressed.
“Russia is the aggressor, and Ukraine is the aggressed people. I think we were right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago, and to continue doing so. We—meaning the United States, Europe, Canada, Japan, and many others—must thank all those who have helped and respect those who have been fighting since the beginning. Because they are fighting for their dignity, their independence, their children, and the security of Europe. These are simple things, but they are good to remember at times like these. That’s all.”
