"There was a long one-on-one discussion with President [of France Emmanuel] Macron. It was President Macron’s initiative that this should be a one-on-one meeting. They [Putin and Macron] understand each other, they do not agree about everything, they agree in one thing and show political will here that there is no alternative to dialogue and discussing even those issues, on which the sides have not yet come to terms. In this respect, our president is impressed by this Macron’s readiness and political will," he said.
