“The President meant that if the state has assumed obligations, and if there is a signature of the head of state, then these obligations must be fulfilled,” the Kremlin spokesman said.

Peskov joked that it was very difficult for French journalists to translate Putin's words into French.

Earlier, Russian and French Presidents Vladimir Putin and Emmanuel Macron held talks in Moscow.

At a press conference following the talks, Putin said that the Ukrainian government had set a course for the dismantling of the Minsk agreements.

“The incumbent recently stated that he does not like a single point from these Minsk agreements.

Well, like it or not, be patient, my beauty.

It is necessary to perform, it will not work out differently, ”RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.

The Russian President noted that there is no progress on such issues as constitutional reform, amnesty, local elections, legal aspects of the special status of Donbass.

At the same time, he stressed that there is no alternative to the Minsk agreements.
