The bloodshedding and killing in Ukraine are being taken advantage by some to promote their own agenda.
On March 8, the social media handle @visegrád24 posted three photos of Emmanuel Macron in Elysee, showing how worried and frustrated the French President is after he finished talking with Putin on phone. [ By the way, who are behind @visegrád24? ]
Except that, the photographer have already uploaded his photos to his account at Instgram and described the context where photos were taken.
According to the photographer's own words and upload timestamps, the first photo was taken on Feb 9 taken after Macron finshed a long meeting with his ministers.
The second was taken on Feb 18 when Macron was having an international phone call. The photographer didn't specify whom Macron was talking to. Though it's likely that he was in a NATO conference call with other member state leaders, as the NATO official record shows on its web site.
The third was taken on Mar 4 and has nothing to do with "phone call with Putin", either. Macron had a phone call with UK's BoJo before taking the photo on that day.
Even so, in another tweet on Mar 9 to make "correction", @visegrád24 still insists that all the photos were taken on Feb 18 after Macron had a phone call with Putin.
The Internet users did not let go the chance for memes:

If you read Chinese, do not miss the comments. Some Chinese netizens are brutal making fun of Macron.

What I can add is that the road to Moscow is littered with uncertainty, aside the problem of Logistic, it had the advantage of space and manufacture prowess beyond the Ural mountain. That landmass is crucial cause unlike Julius Caesar of antiquity where he can live of the land, the vastness of Russia is one of the pillar of Russian defense , aside from the gritness of its people and the weather.
