Moscow denounces French President Macron's "vulgar insults" after he called Russian leader Putin a "predator" and "ogre," stating such remarks "cross the line of not just reasonableness, but decency."⁣
⁣
Macron pushed back, denying he had personally insulted Putin. “I deny these descriptions, I am never rude or vulgar. But when it is said that there is an ogre at the gates of Europe, an image that has been used by several, I believe it qualifies what Georgians, Ukrainians, and many other nations feel very deeply.”⁣
