French President Emanuel Macron and his Russian counterpart Vladimir
Putin have pledged to recover strained ties between their nations
despite disagreements. Speaking to a group of journalists in the French
capital Paris, the two leaders expressed willingness to work together on
several issues including de-escalation of the Ukrainian crisis as well
as tackling terrorism in Syria. Macron said their first priority is the
fight against terrorism and uprooting terrorists groups including Daesh.
The two presidents, however, remained at odds over a number of issues.
The French president took aim at the Russian media for working against
him during his presidential campaign. Putin for his part criticized
anti-Moscow sanctions saying they will not help stabilize the situation
in Ukraine’s east.
