The propagandist Pavel Zarubin asked Lavrov, “What is this rhetoric when Macron calls us cannibals and predators?”
“I don’t know. People are different. They have different cultures. I will not even comment on. I hope that he himself is uncomfortable at night,” the Russian Foreign Minister answered.
Macron's statement was in an interview with TF1, published on August 19. The President of France called the Russian Federation “destabilizing power and potential threat to many”, as well as a country that “in a moment” will not become democratic. “For the sake of his own survival, he needs to continue to eat, this is a predator, a cannibal at our gate,” Macron said. He noted that with “great respect” refers to the Russian people.
