Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova sarcastically commented on French President Emmanuel Macron’s statement on Ukraine’s NATO membership.
Globalinfo.az reports that she told RIA Novosti.
“I believe this statement deserves an expert assessment by the European Union’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Kaja Kallas,” Zakharova said.
It should be noted that Emmanuel Macron said Ukraine has every reason to join NATO. He stressed that the Ukrainian army is Europe’s strongest and plays an important role in the continent’s security. Macron’s remarks were met with sarcasm in Russia.
US President Donald Trump has said he does not consider Ukraine’s NATO membership possible. Russian President Vladimir Putin, meanwhile, described the deployment of foreign military forces in Ukraine as a threat to his country’s national security.
