Russia "has become a persistent destabilizing force and a potential threat to many of us," French President Emmanuel Macron told TF1-LCI after the summit in Washington.
"A country that invests 40% of its budget in such equipment, which has mobilized an army of over 1.3 million men, will not turn into an open democratic system overnight," Macron stressed.
The French president said that even for his own survival, Putin must continue to eat.
"He is a predator, a monster on our doorstep. We must not be naive and I say this with great respect for the Russian people," Macron stressed, adding that "President Putin has rarely kept his promises." "I am not saying that France will be attacked tomorrow," he concluded, "but he is a threat to Europeans."
