Lavrov called Macron's statements about plans to call Putin "pathetic diplomacy."

French leader Emmanuel Macron just needs to call Russian President Vladimir Putin if the French leader really wants to have a serious conversation. This was announced on February 5 by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

"A couple of weeks ago, French President Emmanuel Macron once again stated that he would call Russian President Vladimir Putin sometime. It's not serious. This is pathetic diplomacy. If you want to call and talk about something seriously, then call," he stressed in an interview with RT.

Lavrov drew attention to the fact that Putin "will always pick up the phone and listen to any suggestions," including if we are talking about serious proposals. The minister added that serious issues "will not remain without a serious, concrete, practical response."
