Russia made a “threatening” name to France warning that it hopes French secret service brokers weren’t concerned in final month’s terror assault in Moscow.
“The feedback by the Russian aspect have been weird and threatening,” Emanuel Macron, the French president, informed reporters, including that any ideas France may need been concerned within the lethal assault have been “ridiculous”.
Particulars of the decision got here as Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, mentioned that relations between Russia and Nato “have now slipped to the extent of direct confrontation” on the seventy fifth anniversary of Nato.
On Wednesday, Sebastien Lecornu, the French defence minister, reached out to his Russian counterpart Sergei Shoigu, saying France was able to step up exchanges to battle “terrorism”, the French defence ministry reported.
The talks, the primary between the 2 international locations since 2022, have been meant to precise “solidarity” following the assault, during which no less than 144 folks have been killed at a live performance venue outdoors Moscow, and to share intelligence on its origin, Mr Macron mentioned.
