Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52 , were convicted at Preston Crown Court after investigators uncovered their plan to smuggle automatic weapons and ammunition into the UK.

Tensions between Paris and Moscow have sharpened after the Kremlin accused French President Emmanuel Macron of breaching diplomatic decorum with his recent description of Vladimir Putin as “an ogre at our gates.”

The comment, made during a televised interview last week, was among Macron’s strongest public criticisms of the Russian leader since the start of the war in Ukraine. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova responded on Friday, calling the remark “unworthy of a head of state” and accusing Macron of making “strange statements” that sometimes cross into “low-grade insults”.

Macron’s choice of words reflects his deep skepticism about Moscow’s willingness to pursue peace, even as international efforts — including U.S.-led talks — continue to seek an end to the conflict. France has been a vocal supporter of Ukraine, a stance that has repeatedly drawn sharp rebukes from Russian officials.

The latest exchange underscores the fragile state of Franco-Russian relations, where diplomatic language has given way to increasingly personal attacks, further complicating the already fraught path toward any negotiated settlement.
