Kremlin, 'vassals of China? Macron has wrong vision'

The Kremlin "totally disagrees" with French President Emmanuel Macron's statement of Russia's "vassalage" towards China. This was stated by spokesman Dmitry Peskov quoted by the RIA Novosti agency. Macron's words, spoken in an interview with Opinion, reflect a completely wrong understanding of what is happening, Peskov added.

While Ukraine and the United States deny any involvement in the alleged drone attack on the Kremlin, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accuses them of lying from Goa to India where he is traveling. If you think we should stop thinking about what they know just because the US and Ukraine have denied the allegations, well that's not the case,” Lavrov said. “The ability to lie of our Ukrainian and Western friends is well known. The whole situation illustrates a crisis that is much deeper than the behavior of the Zelensky-led regime alone.” The images were released by the Moscow Foreign Ministry.
