<p>The activists then slipped out of the museum through an emergency exit with the 40,000-euro-statue (Rs 39 lakh), covered with a blanket.</p>
<p>The activist then placed the figure in front of the Russian embassy in a stunt meant to urge France to stop gas and fertiliser imports from Russia.</p>
<p>The stunt was aimed at drawing attention to what activists called Macron’s “double game” on Ukraine.&nbsp;</p>
<p>”For us, France is playing a double game,” Jean-Francois Julliard, head of Greenpeace France, said.</p>
<p>”Emmanuel Macron embodies this double discourse: he supports Ukraine but encourages French companies to continue trading with Russia,” he said.</p>
<p>The Greenpeace activist targeted Macron demanding that the French president “should be the first” among European leaders to end trade contracts with Russia.</p>
<p>France has been one of the most vocal supporters of Ukraine since Russia started the war Ukraine in February 2022.</p>
