The Kremlin said after the last conversation that its topic was the situation around the Zaporozhye nuclear power station, Ukraine’s shelling of the civilian infrastructure of Donbass, and prospects for a grain deal that subsequently failed due to the policies of Western countries

MOSCOW, July 1. /TASS/. The Presidents of Russia and France, Vladimir Putin and Emmanuel Macron, have spoken over the phone for the first time in almost three years, according to TASS calculations. The last such conversation, of which the Kremlin informed, took place on September 11, 2022.

The Kremlin said in a statement after the last conversation that its topic was the situation around the Zaporozhye nuclear power station, Ukraine’s shelling of the civilian infrastructure of Donbass, and prospects for a grain deal that subsequently failed due to the policies of Western countries.

A series of telephone conversations between the leaders of Russia and France was interrupted by Macron’s violation of their confidentiality and involving journalists. As the Russian president pointed out, his French counterpart had not warned him that outsiders were involved in the conversation.

I’m sure Putin was thrilled, especially after seeing Macron’s mom slap him silly.

Candace has gone of the deep end.

She’s become a rabid anti-semite. He husband is some level (on the low side) of British royalty. I wonder if he’s one of them who has sympathy for the ragheads.

There may have been one Interpreter per man, or, knowing the presumptuous vanity of most French, Macron might have just assumed Putin would make the effort to have the official dialogue conducted in French. Long time ago, French was the international language of diplomacy.

I could see it happening. Macron wants her to shut up about his wife being a man and pressured trump to make a phone call.

Of course it could also be BS

Not only does Candace say that Macron’s wife is a man, but also she says the man is Macron’s own father. (I think she might’ve backed off on that by now.)

Every single conversation of this sort reverses the avalanche of demonizing of Putin. It reinforces the aura of “leader of a nuclear power”, and normalizes all contact with him.

In an overall sense it also suggests that France cannot come up with 5% of GDP for military spending.
