@marlathetourist It's not an out of the blue decision either. If you've paid attention, Putin pretty much enabled African colonies to remove French military bases and embassies out of their country like Niger and Mali.
Relationships between Macron and Putin weren't particularly sour then, but now Macron is pissed.
He always had Napoleonic ambitions and wanted to convert Africa to its soft power, making French the main spoken language in the continent.
That's gone now, and he's not happy.

Thank God this is failing. The last thing anyone needs is more French speaking. Hopefully the folks who still have the baguette in their mouths are quicker to switch from English to Russian than they were from French to English.
