“Macron did respond to Putin’s message, which was sent out,” Peskov quotes RIA Novosti.

He noted that there were no details in the response.

“But at least there is expressed understanding of the concern (Russia. - RT ) and willingness to dialogue on this subject,” the spokesman added.

Earlier, the German edition of Frankfurter Allgemeine, referring to Macron's response letter to Putin, spoke about the reaction of the French president to the letter of the Russian leader.

A member of the Federation Council, Franz Klintsevich, in an interview with the FAN, appreciated reports that Macron was ready to consider a proposal to introduce a moratorium on the deployment of intermediate and shorter-range missiles in Europe.

In late September, it was reported that Vladimir Putin sent a number of countries, including NATO members, a message containing a proposal to introduce a moratorium on the deployment of medium and shorter-range missiles in Europe and other regions.

On October 11, Putin at a meeting of the Council of CIS Heads of State in Ashgabat said that he had not received an answer to his appeal to world leaders about a moratorium on the deployment of medium-range missiles.
