Russia denounces Macron over China ‘vassalisation’ comments


Russian officials on Monday (15 May) denounced comments by French President Emmanuel Macron that Moscow was becoming subservient to China, saying Western countries must get used to a world underpinned by the Kremlin’s close ties with Beijing.

The Russian criticism focused on an interview Macron gave to the Paris daily l’Opinion in which he decried the Kremlin’s isolation brought on by its invasion of Ukraine more than 14 months ago.
