It was believed that the elections in France can somehow, even minimal, affect something. But now it is already clear that Le Pen loses that the president will be Macron, so that they will not affect anything. Accordingly, there will be no special problems, "Grishchenko said..

"Now European leaders are ready for this. I do not see any other obstacles, "he assured..
