Moscow: Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova accused French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday of being out of touch with reality after he called Russia a threat to Europe and said he would consider putting European allies under France's nuclear protection, Russian state news agency RIA said.

"Every day he makes some kind of completely out-of-touch statements that contradict previous ones. He's a storyteller," RIA quoted Zakharova as saying.
