Outside the right-wing American/Russian disinformation.. "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor." - French Senator Claude Malhuret

President Macron: We all know the situation. The aggressor is Russia. Ukraine are a nation under attack. I think we were all right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago, and to continue to do so.
