In an interview with TASS, the grandson of French Brigadier General Charles de Gaulle, Pierre, said that he wants to become the owner of a Russian passport. The Frenchman wants to do this in the name of the prosperous future of his children.

In this regard, de Gaulle Jr. hopes for a corresponding positive decision by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"This way we will be able to pass on to them [children] the values that are important to us and also give them a good education. We want to save children from decadence, from the decline of values that is happening in the Western world," he said in an interview.
