TASS: Macron wants to call Putin, but preparation for the conversation will take time.
Elchi.az reports that French President Emmanuel Macron wants to call Russian President Vladimir Putin, but preparation for a meaningful conversation will take several days. TASS reports this, citing a French source.
“Preparation for a meaningful conversation will not take a day, it will definitely take several days <…> The French leader is paying attention to the results,” the agency’s source said.
On February 3, Macron announced that preparations were underway at the technical level for contacts with Putin. According to the French leader, consultations are also being held with European partners and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on this issue.
The last telephone conversation between Putin and Macron took place on July 1, 2025. This was their first conversation after a long break that lasted since September 2022. During the conversation, the French leader immediately called for a ceasefire and reconciliation. In response, the Russian president said that the conflict was the result of Western policy and stressed that any agreement should take into account the “new territorial realities” and eliminate the root causes of the crisis.
