Putin, Macron discuss Ukraine war in their 1st phone call since 2022
Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the Ukraine war with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron, the Kremlin said in a statement Tuesday, marking the first phone conversation between the two leaders since 2022.
The statement noted that Putin, when considering the situation around Ukraine, argued the ongoing conflict to be a "direct" consequence of the policies of Western states, which for many years "ignored Russia's security interests" and are now "pursuing a policy of prolonging hostilities."
