MOSCOW, 10 Apr. French President Emmanuel Macron should withdraw his mercenaries from Ukraine in order not to adapt to US foreign policy, ex-European Parliamentarian Florian Filippo wrote on Twitter. «Let him withdraw the French soldiers present in Ukraine! According to leaks from the Pentagon, there are even more of them than Americans!» the former deputy was indignant.
Earlier, the head of the Fifth Republic, in an interview with Echos, called for greater independence for Europe, expressing the opinion that it should not be drawn into the US-China confrontation over Taiwan and adapt to the «American rhythm.» In his opinion, the Europeans need to «wake up» and think about their interests.
