According to a report on July 6, local time in Bloomberg, French President Macron agreed to show behind the scenes in a documentary, telling that he persuaded Putin to not work in Ukraine to "launch war". This decision was quickly condemned by Russia.

On the 3rd, a spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Zaharava also accused him in the show, "It is not worth looking forward to the confidentiality of French respect for anything. The conversation with partners is normal. "

The controversial French documentary is "President, Europe, and War". It is the result of the results of the reporter Guy Lagache in the Palace of Elysee for more than 5 months. It was broadcast on French television on the evening of June 30. The documentary revealed 4 days before the outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine conflict, that is, on February 20, Macron and Putin's calling clips.

On the phone, Macron suggested that Putin and US President Biden held talks. Putin did not explicitly oppose it, but did not perform interest. He said that he was going to be ice hockey, and he had to discuss with the consultant.

Before the outbreak of the Russian -Ukraine military conflict, Russia had negotiated with the United States and NATO many times, asking them to make security commitments such as non -expansion and deployment of offensive weapons around Russia. It also warned Russia "don't invade".

"Russia today" commented that despite French presidents support sanctions against Russia, he did not publish "extreme remarks" like the United States and British leaders, and has been talking to Putin many times since February.

When US President Biden accused Russia of implementing "racial extinction" in Ukraine, Macron warned West to not use this word. He also refused to declare Russia's "supporting terrorism" in accordance with Kyiv's request.

British Prime Minister Johnson compared Putin as a "crocodile" and repeatedly rejected the idea of ​​negotiating peace with Moscow. The newly -appointed Chief of Staff of the British Army said that the British army must be prepared for "defeating Russia in the battle." In contrast, Macron said that European leaders must "always respect the Russian country and the Russian people", "if Russia does not participate in the peace framework of our mainland, peace will not last."

According to the US media analysis, the Elysee Palace may hope that the documentary is the "unprecedented contact" of the French president's "unprecedented contact" that can alleviate his criticism of Putin too gentle and allow the outside world to take more positive things that he tries to mediate between Russia and the West. Essence On the contrary, this may make some people feel more innocent.

The article also stated that when the crisis of Ukraine intensified last November, France and Germany accused Moscow of ignoring diplomatic etiquette and announced the letter from Rarov with French and German foreign ministers. However, the French side was not the first time that it was charged with this kind of information. In 2020, the French "World News" published a record of Macron and Putin.
