Both leaders stress their countries' responsibility as permanent members of UN Security Council to maintain peace, security and nuclear non-proliferation, says Kremlin - Anadolu Ajansı

It was the two leaders’ first call since 2022, and the Russian president’s first with any major European leader since last year.

Russian President Vladimir Putin had a "substantial" phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron on the Iran-Israel conflict and Ukraine, the Kremlin said on Tuesday (July 1), the first such exchange between the two leaders since September 2022.
