Macron has already talked to Putin: what is known
Prior to his re-election, Macron spoke daily on the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Therefore, the policy was actively criticized, and Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki even put the French president on a par with Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Paul Pot. Macron himself said that Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky asked him to communicate with the head of the Kremlin. In addition, the politician noted that France is not at war with Russia.
When information about the atrocities of the Russian army in Bucha appeared, the French president stopped calling his Russian colleague. In total, they did not communicate for about 2 months.
