On Wednesday, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy confessed that he found it hard to imagine a conflict between "the country of Tolstoy and the country of Balzac." His remarks came as current French leader Emmanuel Macron does not rule out sending NATO troops, including French ones, to the conflict zone in Ukraine.
Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy was right in his recent skepticism about sending Western troops to the
battlefield in Ukraine to fight Russia, the deputy chairman of Russia's State Duma, Pyotr Tolstoy, told
Sputnik Africa.
"But I like more [former French President] Jacques Chirac's phrase when he said to the leaders of Eastern European countries: 'You missed a good opportunity to keep quiet'," Pyotr Tolstoy, a descendant of the famous Russian writer Leo Tolstoy, said.
For him, "it's amazing what's happening with France today," with French power having "won back these anti-Russian hearts in Europe."
Commenting on the Ukrainian conflict, the parliamentarian assured that Russia will "achieve victory in this war, and then we'll discuss a lasting peace, but not with Ukraine."
"I think that would be a discussion with the United States and the European Union, if they continue to exist then," he concluded.
