‘France leading West’s PARTY OF WAR’ | Kremlin hits back at Macron’s call for more sanctions

Russia has slammed French President Emmanuel Macron, accusing him of leading a “party of war” in NATO and the EU after he backed tougher sanctions on Moscow over the Ukraine conflict. The Kremlin says France is escalating hybrid warfare and blocking diplomacy by sending Mirage 2000 jets to Kyiv. Kremlin spokesperson Zakharova condemned the sanctions as an illegitimate trade war. Putin demands Ukraine halt mobilization and withdraw from Russian-claimed territories before any meaningful ceasefire talks can begin. #RussiaFranceTensions #Macron #UkraineWar #EUvsRussia #PartyOfWar #HybridWarfare #Zakharova #Putin #Mirage2000 #FranceUkraineSupport #RussiaSanctions #MacronVsPutin #EUForeignPolicy #KremlinWarning #TradeWar #EconomicPressure #NATO #UkraineConflict #RussiaIsolation #CeasefireDebate #EasternEuropeCrisis Also Read West Pitching China-India Against Each Other: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/west-pitching-china-india-against-each-other-russian-foreign-minister-sergei-lavrov-4155227.html?ref=DMDesc Russia Marks 80th Anniversary of Nazi Germany's Defeat with Grand Victory Day Parade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/victory-day-parade-russia-80th-anniversary-defeat-nazi-germany-011-4148945.html?ref=DMDesc Indian Army Gets Russia-Made Igla-S Missiles :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/indian-army-gets-russia-made-igla-s-missiles-4143017.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.125~
