Russian President Vladimir Putin did not say anything during a telephone conversation today with French President Emanuel Macron indicating that he was preparing to invade Ukraine, a French presidency official said.
“We do not see any indication that President Putin is going to launch an attack,” the official told reporters after a nearly 90-minute telephone conversation between Macron and Putin.
“However, we are extremely vigilant and vigilant about the Russian (military) stance in order to avoid the worst.”
France would, however, now advise French citizens to avoid traveling to Ukraine, the official said.
At the same time, the Elysee reported that Emanuel Macron reiterated to Vladimir Putin the “determination (of the West) to react” in case of a military operation in Ukraine.
The French president will continue his diplomatic efforts to prevent an escalation by having a telephone conversation tonight with US President Joe Biden, German Chancellor Olaf Soltz and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the president said.
