A call held two days prior to the beginning of the war in Ukraine between French President Emmanuel Macron and Russian President Vladimir Putin was published by the broadcaster France 2 in a documentary on the French president’s approach to handling the conflict. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov responded to this incident calling it a breach of “diplomatic etiquette.”

On a two-day trip to Vietnam, Lavrov said that "Diplomatic etiquette does not provide for unilateral leaks of (such) recordings.” The details of the call were published publicly, however, Lavrov emphasized that Russia had nothing to be ashamed of regarding the content of the conversation.

The FM added that Russia “in principle leads negotiations in such a way that we never have anything to be ashamed of. We always say what we think and are ready to answer for these words and explain our position," he said.
