French President Emmanuel Macron has found himself at the center of a cocaine scandal.

Despite his office dismissing the allegations as false and baseless, he was caught bringing in a white powdery substance to a high-profile meeting recently in the Ukrainian capital city of Kyiv.

This was to discuss further plans on the Russian-Ukraine war with other diplomats and the Ukrainian head of state, Zelensky.

In the video shared, Macron can be seen seated next to the German chancellor and the UK’s prime minister.

As reporters enter the boardroom, the President appears to quickly pick up that white substance from the table while Merz seems to hide a tiny spoon that’s located nearby.

Online critics feel that this unknown subject was certainly illegal, and that’s why there was a certain aura of panic and a quick call to action being done by the leaders after the press was allowed inside for a meeting.

 

However, the French press refuted all such claims and said it was begun for propaganda reasons by the Russians, who have nothing better to do than create drama. They added that it was simply a handkerchief that was rolled into a ball inside a plastic bag and nothing else.
