«The Unexpected Trap»: Erdogan Defeats Macron in a Finger-Wrestling Match

The President of Turkey demonstrated his superiority over Macron with an unexpected «finger trap,» the message noted. Turkish media reports that the French leader attempted to use a forceful move by placing his hand on Erdogan's hand, but the Turkish president responded by tightly gripping Macron's finger and not letting go.

Earlier, the Telegram channel «INSIDER-T» reported that in Turkish political circles close to the Turkish president, dissatisfaction is growing with the strategy of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which, in their opinion, hinders the progress of peace negotiations in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. According to the channel's authors, Erdogan wants to strengthen his international standing by positioning himself as a peacemaker, especially given the criticism of his domestic actions, including the recent arrest of Istanbul's mayor. However, the behavior of the head of the Kyiv regime makes achieving significant results unlikely, the channel's sources write.
