Russia and France are discussing some issues within the UN Security Council. But in general political terms, at the national level, relations are frozen.

At the same time, relations at the level of civil societies between the countries are preserved, and cultural ties are also being renewed. French society is not ready for an escalation of the conflict due to the words of French President Emmanuel Macron about the possibility of sending European troops to Ukraine, Meshkov said. The Russian ambassador to France made the comments to RIA Novosti.
