Paris Welcomes Putin Willingness to Hold Dialogue with Macron
The Elysee Palace characterized Russian President Vladimir Putin's readiness for dialogue as "welcome" and indicated Paris would determine specifics "in the coming days," a French broadcaster reported.
Paris's statement followed remarks from Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, who informed a Russian news agency late Saturday that Putin stands prepared to enter talks with Macron.
The French leader told journalists Friday after the European Council meeting that renewed communication with Putin would "become useful again" for himself and European allies, given Washington's ongoing push to resolve the Moscow-Kyiv conflict.
Macron elaborated: "I think that we, Europeans and Ukrainians, have an interest in finding a framework to re-engage in these discussions properly. Otherwise, we end up talking among ourselves, with negotiators who go off on their own to talk with the Russians, which is not optimal."
