There is no war with the Russians. Obviously, if they attacked us, we would react, because that's how it should be. But let's not do anything that makes us allies in the war against the Russians... The leader of the French left and the candidate for the presidency of France Jean-Luc Melenchon, when asked directly by a reporter whether Russia is an enemy of France, answered "no" unequivocally and made historical parallels, noting that it is better for France to be an ally of Russia: the Russians are naturally our allies every time they invaded us. And at those times when they are not our allies, they are the ones who invade our territory.
