French FM: Putin's proposed ‘truce’ is marketing operation with bomb in his hand
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot believes that the so-called Easter "truce" of the Russian Federation was a "marketing operation."
In an interview with France info, Barrot said that Putin's temporary "truce" is a "marketing operation with a bomb in his hand." According to the minister, it was aimed at "preventing the impatience and anger of President Trump".
"When Moscow talks about peace, its strikes continue. More than a month has passed since Ukraine agreed to an unconditional ceasefire. Vladimir Putin must also agree to it," Barrot wrote on the X social network after the interview.
