Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said yesterday that the publication of a transcript of a telephone conversation between President Emmanuel Macron and Russian leader Vladimir Putin is a violation of diplomatic protocol.
“The principles of diplomatic conduct do not provide for unilateral leaks of (such as) records,” Lavrov said during a trip to Vietnam.
Radio France 2 showed in a documentary about the French president’s war with Russia details of a telephone conversation that took place between the two leaders a few days before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Lavrov noted that Russia has nothing to be ashamed of in the content of the conversation between the two leaders.
On the ground, as Russian forces continue their offensive in Ukraine’s Donbas, residents of Sloviansk have named Moscow’s current goal of evacuating the heavily bombed city.
“My big advice: go away!” “Not a day has passed since the week without bombing,” he added.
A few hours ago, it was announced that two people had been killed and seven wounded in attacks on the city market.
After the fall of Lischansk on Sunday, Russian forces now control most of the Luhansk region and now seek to control the Donetsk region, thereby occupying the entire Donbas, part of which has been controlled by pro-Moscow separatists since 2014.
