German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel MacronMOSCOW, May 29. Readers of the French newspaper Le Figaro ridiculed the unrealistic proposals of French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Ukraine.

«Empty words cut off from reality. That's what our leaders offer,» said another.
«Putin has won. Endless sanctions against Russia. And now they are calling Putin with a request to give them porridge!!!!» another reader shared his opinion.
