For the first time in more than two months, the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, called the head of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin. The parties raised the issue of the Zaporizhzhya NPP and the war on the territory of Ukraine. This was reported by the press service of the Kremlin.

 As the Kremlin notes, Putin and Macron discussed various aspects of the situation around Ukraine. First of all, the parties raised the issue of Zaporizhzhya NPP and emphasized the importance of the direction of the IAEA mission to the plant.

 Putin allegedly recalled his readiness to invite UN and Red Cross experts to the detention center in Olenivka, where Ukrainian prisoners of war died as a result of a Russian terrorist attack.

 The head of Russia also informed Macron about the implementation of the "grain agreement".

 The Kremlin writes that the parties have agreed to continue to maintain contact to resolve certain issues.
