They 逮捕(する) the French leader's looks, 信用/信任 and charm as much as his masculinity and physical 能力s.
From pictures of the 大統領 flashing a winning smile as he lounged on a 情熱 colour sofa with a crisp, unbuttoned shirt 明らかにする/漏らすing his hairy chest, to the 悪名高い portrait of Macron wearing a Zelensky-style hoody as he strode into the Golden Room of the Elysee Palace in the 早期に days of the ウクライナ共和国 war - many of the snaps 捜し出す to 陳列する,発揮する him as a man of versatility and character, rather than a hard-nosed, no-nonsense 政治家.

But the most 最近の images of Macron's ボクシング workout come at a time when he is working to position himself as the strongman of Europe standing up to Putin.

He also chastised Putin for 脅すing the use of 核の 装置s and reminded him フラン also has an 前進するd 武器s programme in interviews with French マスコミ.
In an uncharacteristically brash retort to Putin's 最新の 一区切り/(ボクシングなどの)試合 of 核の sabre-動揺させるing, Macron said: 'We must first and 真っ先の feel 保護するd because we are a 核の 力/強力にする. We are ready; we have a doctrine (for the use of 核の 武器s).'
