At the initiative of the French side, Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with President of the French Republic Emmanuel Macron.
"It was noted that the situation in the region, largely due to the presence of Russian peacekeepers, remains stable. Preconditions have been created for establishing normal economic activity, unblocking economic and transport links. The President of Russia drew attention to the need for closer involvement of European partners, and in particular France, in solving the humanitarian problems of the population of the regions affected by the hostilities," stated the report.
