French President Emmanuel Macron stated that when the war in Ukraine began in February 2022, many people doubted their ability to respond. However, he emphasized that despite this initial skepticism, the international community took swift and decisive action.
According to editorial reports, Macron stated that sanctions were unanimously imposed against Russia from the first day of the war. He noted that the 20th package of sanctions is currently being implemented, and the Russian economy is severely suffering from these measures.
President Macron urged people not to believe fake news, confirming that Russia's economy is indeed under the influence of sanctions. He stated that Russia's economic situation is deteriorating and the consequences of international pressure are clearly felt.
