Greenpeace activists stole Emmanuel Macron’s wax model from the Paris Museum of Greven and placed it outside the Russian embassy, in protest of France’s financial links with Moscow.
“For us, France is playing a double game” and the French president “embodies this double language: it supports Ukraine but encourages French companies to continue trade with Russia,” said Jean-Francois Zuliar, the General Manager of the Branch.

“We are targeting Emmanuel Macron because it is particularly responsible for this situation. He should be at the forefront ‘of the debate in Europe in order to interrupt trade contracts between Russia and European countries.
According to a police source, two women and one man entered the morning, starring tourists, at the famous Paris wax museum, the Madame Tisso Museum of London.
After changing clothes to look like museum craftsmen or officials, they stole the statue, worth 40,000 euros and hid it in a blanket. They got out of the building from the danger exit.
Shortly afterwards, a journalist saw the statue positioned in front of the Russian embassy, located in the 16th apartment of the French capital.
