The French leader noted that in recent days the dialogue with Putin has become less intense due to the election campaign.

“I do not rule out contacts for several reasons: the first is that we must always be ready for the next day, the second is the world.

It cannot be achieved without conducting a dialogue with the Russian side, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

On April 13, Macron said he planned to hold new phone calls with Russian and Ukrainian leaders Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky.

He also noted that the policy of maintaining contacts with Putin is correct.
