This was announced by spokesman for the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov.
“The topics are obvious - this is bilateral Russian-French cooperation, which has a very rich economic content, these are international problems ... this, of course, Ukraine and, of course, they will discuss the prospects for continuing work in the Norman format,” the Kremlin representative said.
In addition, the leaders of the two countries may discuss the repatriation of the remains of one of Napoleon’s closest associates, General Guden, who were discovered by archaeologists during excavations in Smolensk.
“Of course, if our French counterparts consider it necessary to raise this issue, I am sure that this topic will be discussed,” Peskov emphasized.
Earlier, Macron announced a meeting with Putin on August 19 at Fort Bregancon's residence.
In early July, archaeologists discovered remains in the Lopatinsky Garden of Smolensk that may belong to General Guden, who died in the Battle of Valutina Mountain and was buried in the center of the Royal Bastion.
According to Maria Katasonova, vice president of the development fund for Russian-French historical initiatives, after confirming the ownership of the remains by DNA expertise, it will be possible to hold an official ceremony for their reburial in France.
