Macron also denies reports that it was on his initiative that the issue of the Russian oil embargo was postponed until the end of the presidential election in France. He argues that Europeans should stop buying oil and gas from Russia to “weaken Moscow’s ability” to continue the war.
He notes that France is not dependent on Russian gas supplies, so that, another country is engaged in blocking the embargo.
“The European market is interconnected and Europe depends on Russian gas.”
The French President also refused to set red lines for the possible use of chemical weapons, as “we need to measure the consequences” of this.
