Former French President Supports Putin and Criticizes Hollande

‘After speaking with Vladimir Putin, former French President Valery Giscard d’Estaing started to finally understand and even defend Russia’s position in media, French diplomat Roland Hureaux said on Atlantico’s news portal.

Interestingly, in the past the former French President had a reputation of being a pro-US Atlanticist thinker.

Giscard d’Estaing defended the “annexation of Crimea,” stating that the peninsula had always been Russian in the past. Furthermore, he said that the 2013-2014 Maidan protests and the subsequent overthrow of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych were orchestrated by the CIA, Hureaux said.
