The Wagner Group taunted French President Emmanuel Macron with a video depicting a fictional attack on war-torn Paris.
On a secure messaging channel March 9, the group posted a clip from a video game, showing combat in France.
In the clip, the Eiffel Tower topples. In a message alongside the clip, the channel manager writes in Russian: “Show Macron this game (Покажите Макрону эту игр).”
The post is aimed at Macron, who has taken a stance that surely irritates the Kremlin in regards to Moscow’s war on Ukraine. In recent comments, Macron has said regarding Ukraine: “Currently, there is no consensus on sending troops. But in this matter, nothing should be ruled out in the future.”
Macron added: “We will do everything possible to prevent Russia from winning this war.”
In the video game clip, Paris is doing poorly under fire. The clip is a taunt, but is it also a threat?
People who follow the Wagner Group’s channel enjoyed it immensely, according to their emojis. Our guess is, someone has indeed shown the post to Macron.
