The President of France said that another country is blocking the embargo, but he didn't say which one . He only explained: “The European market is interconnected, and Europe depends on Russian gas.”
At the same time, Macron explained that the Europeans should stop buying oil and gas from Russia in order to “weaken Moscow's ability” to fight.< /p>
By the way, the President of France on April 17 promised that France would become “the first major country to give up oil and gas.” He assured that he would do this if the citizens elected him president for the second time.
However, it should be remembered that Emmanuel Macron said that he refuses to use the word “genocide” regarding the atrocities of Russian troops in Ukraine. The French president said “verbal escalation” would not help.
