Speaking during his meeting with Xi Jinping, Macron went into a rampage about Russia stationing nuclear weapons in Belarus, trying, in vain, to stir up some animosity against Russia. “In no case, should there be a deployment of nuclear weapons outside the territory of the states which possess nuclear weapons, in particular in Europe,” he was quoted as saying by TASS. “In this respect everyone must be recalled to their own duties, and in particular Russia, which announced just a few days ago, its will to deploy such weapons in Belarus, something not in conformity with the engagements made to you, to us, and to international law.”
