French President Emmanuel Macron has expressed fear that Russia may target the Paris Olympics to be held in France.
Speaking to the media during the inauguration of the Olympic Center in Paris on Thursday, Macron said, I have no doubt that Russia will target the Olympic Games to be held in Paris. Foreign threat is looming over the security of the biggest sports and festivals held in the country.
Macron has accepted such a thing for the first time. After Macron's statement, security agencies have become more alert regarding the security of the Olympics. At the same time, Macron has taken a tough stance against Russia since last month.
Earlier he had said that Russia will have to be defeated in the war against Ukraine under any circumstances and hence the possibility of France sending its troops to fight against Russia in Ukraine cannot be ruled out. Macron had to clarify again that Russia has no intention of inciting hostilities.
Now Macron has accused Russia of attacking the Olympic Games. At the same time, Macron said that France will also try to prevent war between Russia and Ukraine during the Olympic Games.
A day before this statement of Macron, there was a telephone conversation between the Defense Ministers of Russia and France and it is believed that the Russian Defense Minister said that if France sends troops to Ukraine, it will create big problems for France. .
France alleges that Russia is spreading propaganda across Europe and will initiate action to impose sanctions on it in the European Union.
