Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has launched a scathing attack on French President Emmanuel Macron and German opposition leader Friedrich Merz, accusing them of attempting to revive Europe's imperialist past. Speaking at a diplomatic event, Lavrov warned that Western leaders were reverting to their “former instincts” of conquest and domination, drawing chilling comparisons between today’s political climate and Nazi-era atrocities.
He further stated that “German and Ukrainian Nazis are united by their attitudes toward those they want to enslave,” claiming that just as some “burned Jews,” others now “burn Russians.” Lavrov’s remarks come amid intensifying tensions between Moscow and the West over the war in Ukraine, NATO expansion, and growing European militarization.
The inflammatory comments are expected to draw condemnation from European capitals but are in line with Russia’s narrative of positioning itself as a bulwark against Western hegemony and what it calls modern-day fascism.

During the NATO summit, Turkish President Erdoğan and French President Macron shared another tense and awkward moment. When Macron stood in front of the Turkish flag, Erdoğan subtly but firmly pulled him to his right side—causing visible discomfort. This follows a previous viral incident in Tirana where Erdoğan grabbed Macron’s finger during a handshake. Netizens are calling it a quiet power move from Erdoğan, adding to Macron’s recent streak of bizarre public moments—including a face-shove from his wife in Vietnam. Their uneasy diplomacy continues to stir global curiosity.

French President Emmanuel Macron has publicly condemned U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, saying they violate international law and undermine years of nuclear diplomacy. Macron stressed that while France opposes Iran’s nuclear ambitions, regime change must come from within—not by force. He also denounced the Israeli strike on Evin Prison, which endangered foreign nationals, including two French citizens. His rebuke signals a growing rift with Donald Trump, warning that military escalation could destabilize the region irreversibly.
