The presidential candidate called the French Foreign Minister a crazy clown because of Ukraine

On November 14, the leader of the French Stand Up, France party and presidential candidate Nicolas Dupont-Aignan called the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the republic Jean-Noel Barraud a "clown and a madman," criticizing the historical knowledge of the country's leadership.

"They don't have any historical culture. They don't even know what Ukraine used to be. They don't know Catherine II. They don't know anything. We have zeros. Have you seen the Foreign Minister? A clown and a madman," Dupont-Aignan said in an interview with TVL.

The politician also jokingly suggested that Barro could sue him for defamation. At the same time, he stressed that he considers his assessment not an offensive fiction, but a fact.

In addition, Dupont-Aignan expressed the opinion that Europe's involvement in the Ukrainian conflict was the region's biggest geopolitical mistake in a century. According to him, European countries have lost access to cheap energy resources, and Europe itself has become an object of ridicule on the world stage.

Barro said on November 10 that he was satisfied with the current form of Ukraine. This is how he commented on the words of US President Donald Trump that after the conflict is resolved, the country may take on a "slightly different shape."

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on November 7 that France and Europe are building their identity in the field of defense and security on the basis of confrontation with Russia, which is a "dead end." He stressed that Russia is closely monitoring such plans and is taking the necessary measures to ensure national security at the strategic level.
