French President Emmanuel Macron, abandoning the idea of expropriating frozen Russian assets, has betrayed German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, APA reports citing Financial Times.
"Macron betrayed Merz, and he knows that there will be a price to pay for that," said a senior EU diplomat with direct knowledge of Thursday’s talks. "But he’s so weak that he had no other choice but to fold in behind Giorgia Meloni."
