Elysee Palace: Macron does not intend to contact Putin before visiting the United States

French President Emmanuel Macron does not intend to speak with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin before an official visit to the United States next week, according to what was reported by Agence France-Presse on the Elysee Palace.

RIA Novosti, an advisor to the French president, quoted a statement that "the president's schedule does not include a telephone conversation with President Putin before visiting the United States."

  The interlocutor confirmed in the post that Macron's conversation with the Russian leader had nothing to do with negotiations with US President Joe Biden.

  The Kremlin said earlier that talks between Putin and Macron are not yet in the plans.
