UK, French and German leaders, allegations of drug use during meeting


France has blasted a fake claim that President Emmanuel Macron hid a bag of cocaine while posing for a photograph with Keir Starmer and Germany's Friedrich Merz over the weekend.

The trio met on Friday aboard a train travelling from Poland to Ukraine to visit President Volodymyr Zelensky and to pressure Russia into agreeing to a ceasefire.

Footage shows the French leader smiling at a camera before he subtly grabs a white item off the table and discretely conceals it under his arm.

Pro-Russian keyboard warriors were quick to fuel wild conspiracy theories claiming that Macron had stashed away a bag of cocaine.

'Macron, Starmer and Merz caught on video on their return from Kiev.

A bag of white powder on the table.

Macron quickly pockets it, Merz hides the spoon.

No explanation given,' one X account posted.
