❓Could Putin-Macron phone call details leak?

No details of the conversation have been leaked yet, although there was such a precedent from the French side earlier, Dmitry Peskov told Russian reporter Pavel Zarubin.

💬"It is clear that, given such a hypothetical possibility and threat, of course, you need to be restrained in describing your position and, perhaps, the positions of some colleagues," Peskov said, responding to a question about whether additional security measures were taken during the conversation between the leaders of Russia and France.

The call was initiated by the French side, Peskov said.

🔍The leaders discussed the situation around Ukraine, the Iran-Israel confrontation, and US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. They agreed to maintain contacts to coordinate the countries' positions on the situation in the Middle East.
