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

MOSCOW/PARIS, July 1 (Reuters) - 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.

French President Emmanuel Macron and Vladimir Putin agreed to coordinate their approach on Iran in their first phone call since 2022, marking a rare overture from a European head to the Russian leader.
