French President Emmanuel Macron has dubbed Vladimir Putin an ‘ogre’, a giant monster in European folklore that eats children. He said that the Russian leader is a threat to entire Europe and needs to keep attacking for his own political survival.

The remarks were a considerable shift for France’s president, Emmanuel Macron, who called Moscow a potential threat for many European countries.

French President Emmanuel Macron expressed skepticism in a Monday interview that Russian President Vladimir Putin would be willing to make peace as President Trump’s pushes to end the war in Ukraine that has lasted more than three years.
