Putin told Macron about the unwillingness of the West to push Kiev to implement the Minsk agreements

“The unwillingness of the leading Western countries to push the Kiev authorities to implement the Minsk agreements was also emphasized, which once again manifested itself in the unsuccessful round of consultations of political advisers to the leaders of the Normandy format states held on February 10 in Berlin,” the Kremlin’s press service reported.

Earlier it was reported that Putin and Macron discussed speculation about Russia's alleged plans to "invade" Ukraine.

On the evening of February 12, it became known that Putin and Macron held telephone conversations.
