Greenpeace activists have “borrowed” a wax statue of the French leader for a protest outside the Russian Embassy

Activists from the Greenpeace environmental pressure group have stolen a wax statue of President Emmanuel Macron from Paris’ Grevin Museum and placed it outside the Russian Embassy, in a protest against what they claimed to be the French leader’s insufficient support for Ukraine.

France has been a major supporter of Kiev since the escalation of the conflict with Russia in February 2022, as well as one of the primary proponents of the idea to deploy a military force into Ukraine – which has been repeatedly put forward by Macron.

Paris also cut most economic ties and has consistently pushed for harsher sanctions against Moscow. Nevertheless, Greenpeace France’s executive director, Jean-Francois Julliard, accused the French leader of “playing a double game,” following the group’s stunt on Monday.

Three Greenpeace members entered the Grevin Museum posing as tourists on Monday morning, according to AFP sources. They disguised themselves as staff, swiftly removed the €40,000 wax figure of Macron, and transported it to the Russian Embassy in Paris, all while filming the stunt.
