FORT BREGANCON, France: Vladimir Putin rebuked his French counterpart on Monday , saying he did not want"yellow vest" protests spring up like in France, after Emmanuel Macron urged the Russian leader to abide by democratic principles following weeks of protests in Moscow.
While initially, Putin ignored the comment, he was quick to retort after a follow-up question on the Moscow protests saying things were being handled in line with the law, but that he didn't want the situation to develop like in France. Macron said the comparison with France was inaccurate, since at least yellow vest protesters could stand in elections.
Since he took office in 2017, Macron has sought to display firmness to Putin while at the same time encouraging Moscow into a less confrontational stance on international issues by trying to"anchor" it to Europe.
