MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 03rd September, 2018) Russian President Vladimir Putin respects his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron too, the two leaders have rather good and constructive personal relations enabling them to address acute issues, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.
On Sunday, Macron said an interview with Sweden's SVT broadcaster that discussions with Russia were necessary and that he respected Putin, alleging, however, that Putin dreamed about "dismantling the European Union."
"I would like to say that, in terms of respect, the president feels the same way. Indeed, President Vladimir Putin has established very constructive working relations and particularly good personal relations [with Macron], which enable them to discuss rather acute topics and issues on which the countries openly declare their disagreement and differences in approaches, sometimes, even diametrically opposite stances," Peskov told reporters, when asked to comment on the interview.
