French President Emmanuel Macron will take a tough stance on Russia not only in words but also in deeds.

This in an interview with the "Observer" said the French scientist, professor of geopolitics, the teacher of the business school ICN in Nancy, Alexander Melnik.

"Makron's first contacts with Putin showed that the strategy of the French president is this: the continuation of the dialogue with Moscow, but we are talking about a direct, very demanding dialogue, from the position of strength.

When the leader of France to the whole world says that the annexation of Crimea is completely unacceptable, that Russia Today and "Sputnik" are not media, but propaganda organs, this produces a huge effect, "Melnik noted..

According to him, Macron is a person who does what he says.

"I have not so much hope as confidence in the fact that he will go to the end in this demarche, which corresponds to his character and strategy," - summed Melnik.

As reported by the "Observer", Makron named the terms of the meeting of the "Norman" four.
