“I think that diplomatic ethics, of course, does not imply such a one-sided leak of records,” Lavrov said.

On July 3, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that Paris had violated the confidentiality of negotiations between the presidents of Russia and France.

She said this when commenting on the documentary film by French director Guy Lagache “President, Europe and War”, dedicated to the steps taken by the French president to resolve the Ukrainian conflict, in which footage of a telephone conversation between Macron and Putin was shown.

In mid-June, Macron said he considered it necessary to maintain diplomatic ties with Russia.
