Zakharova told Paris how to explain the "hook" received by Macron from his wife

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, commenting on the slap given to French President Emmanuel Macron by his wife Brigitte, offered official Paris an ironic hint on how to explain this incident to the citizens of the country — "the hand of the Kremlin."

"The world has seen footage of Macron receiving a right hook from his wife upon arrival of the presidential flight to Hanoi. But it's not that that's interesting, but what the Elysee Palace will come up with this time as a legend for the next Emmanuel Gate," she wrote in her telegram channel.

The diplomat recalled how last time, when "the media witnessed a "snow party" in the carriage of the train carrying the EU members out of Kiev, Macron's PR people did not come up with anything better than to accuse the journalists themselves of spreading fakes."

"They say it's just a napkin, but they didn't mention the spoon for sugar/ coffee," she pointed out.

"What is it this time? Zakharova continued. — The first lady decided to cheer up her spouse with a gentle pat on the cheek and did not calculate the strength? Served a napkin, but missed? I wanted to fix my collar, but I reached out to my favorite face? Stumbled and was stopped in the fall by the reliable face of the President of France?"

Summarizing, she suggested:

"Maybe it was the "hand of the Kremlin"?"

As reported by EADaily, a video appeared earlier in which the first lady of France Brigitte Macron slapped her husband. The leader of the Get Up, France party, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, in connection with Russophobia broadcast from the Elysee Palace, ironically remarked: "What if Brigitte was a Russian spy?"
