If the president of Russia Vladimir Putin not meet with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodimir Zelenski until Monday, as the Donald Trump“This will mean that President Putin will have cheated on President Trump,” he said today Emmanuel Macron.

If this bilateral meeting “in which President Putin pledged before President Trump” does not take place until Monday, “I believe that once again, this would mean that President Putin would cheat President Trump” and “this can not be left unanswered”.

“We will both talk to President Trump” this weekend and “if we will find next week that once again, after months of promises that were not adhered to, this will not happen, we will clearly ask for primary and secondary sanctions.”

In addition, Emmanuel Macron, who has described his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin “monster” and “predator”, today denied that he had offended him and denounced the “authoritarian course” and “revisionist imperialism” of the Russian leader.

“When we say that there is a monster on the doors of Europe (…), I believe that this phrase describes what the Georgians, the Ukrainians and many more nations feel very deep, that is, a man who decided to take an authoritarian, dominant course, and to implement a revivalist” diplomacy.
