President Emmanuel Macron denounces the "lack of dignity" of recent virulent comments made by Russian leaders towards France, singling out remarks made by Duma deputy speaker Piotr Tolstoy as a clear sign of "nervousness". "I think their lack of dignity is sufficient reason not to comment on them", Macron tells reporters at the end of a European Council summit in Brussels. Tolstoy had promised death to any French soldier on Ukrainian soil and attacked the sexual orientation of Prime Minister Gabriel Attal in an interview with BFMT. SOUNDBITE
