The war between Russia and Ukraine started on 24 February. Earlier, many world leaders were trying to persuade Russian President Vladimir Putin to stop it. On February 20, French President Emmanuel Macron called Putin. Long talks took place between the two leaders. Putin also scoffed on several occasions. Putin wanted to end the talks soon. He was also upset with Macron's attitude. Before hanging up the phone, the Russian President said - Mr. President, I am in the gym right now. After exercise, I will go to play ice hockey. Macron understood the gesture and he too ended the conversation by saying goodbye.
Russia deeply annoyed by the leak
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov expressed strong displeasure over the leak of audio of Putin-Macron talks. Lavrov said – it is against diplomatic etiquette. If the tape of the conversation of two big leaders was leaked, then how? Who will take responsibility for this? More importantly, who will be responsible for the loss of mutual trust.
Audio recording by French media
French TV channel 'France 2' has released this audio tape. The conversation took place through translators. In this, Putin tells Macron at one place – you should talk to those people who are supporting Russia by staying in Ukraine before us. On this, Macron says angrily – I do not know which lawyer is giving you this advice and from where he has studied law. On this Putin says - Ukraine does not have an elected government. Zelensky came to power in a coup and you are supporting him.
On this Macron says – we will not talk to any rebel group. Tell me what are the intentions of Russia? Can we expect any positive initiative, so that the war can be stopped?
Putin's intentions were wrong from the start
The talks indicate that Putin did not want to stop the attack on Ukraine in any way. He kept on repeatedly saying that Ukraine should talk to the Ukrainian rebel group supporting Russia. Macron flatly refuses to do so. Macron says - both NATO and Ukraine are not ready to talk to any rebel group.
Not even ready to talk to Biden
During the conversation, when the atmosphere gets heated, Macron says - you should discuss this issue with Joe Biden. We have to try to avoid the war by stressing. Putin turns down this offer as well.
The Russian President had made up his mind to attack Ukraine and wanted to end this telephonic conversation as soon as possible. That's why Putin says - frankly, I want to go to play ice hockey. I'm in the gym right now and I'm talking from here.
On this the macro says - can we issue a joint statement. In response, Putin says - I will tell you about this after consulting my advisors.
