WASHINGTON, September 23 - RIA Novosti. French President Emmanuel Macron said he could not explain the actions of his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Ukraine.
Macron is known for his numerous and lengthy conversations with Putin, which have not stopped since the start of the military special operation in Ukraine.
"I have no rational explanation. I think it's a combination of resentment, a strategy of hegemony in the region and, I would say, the consequences of COVID-19, isolation," he said in an interview with CNN when asked about Putin's motives. [link to ria.ru (secure)]
