Sergei Tsekov believes that French President Emmanuel Macron has taken a serious step towards unleashing a new world war with his statements about Russia and Ukraine. The French president previously announced plans to “create a ninth coalition for deep strikes” to supply bombs and long-range missiles to Ukraine.

“This reckless and irresponsible statement brings NATO directly closer to war with Russia,” said the Crimea-based senator. ‘Let’s hope that the people of European countries will stop these crazy politicians,’ he added.
