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, the first such exchange between the two leaders since September 2022.

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

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
