Russie – Q&A – Excerpt from the daily press briefing (24 September 2020)

Q : French newspapers revealed a telephone conversation between President Putin and President Macron. Do you have any comment?

A : Any leak of confidential internal documents is unacceptable. That is why we refrain from commenting on them. An investigation is under way.

The dialogue that the French President wished to establish with Russia is intended to deal with all issues – and specifically those affecting our security – both candidly and rigorously, and it will carry on in that spirit.
