"The Russian president stressed the dangerous nature (of the fact) that Ukraine continues to be flooded with Western weapons, warning of the risks of further destabilization of the situation and worsening of the humanitarian crisis," according to a Kremlin statement issued after the phone conversation, the AP reported.
It will be recalled that French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Schultz had a joint telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin today and asked him to release the 2.500 Ukrainian militants who were hiding inside the Azovstal steel factory in Mariupol and captured by Russia.
They also reiterated their demand for an immediate ceasefire and called on the Russian president to enter into direct talks as soon as possible with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
President Macron and Chancellor Solts told President Putin that the blockade of Odessa should be lifted to allow the export of grain from Ukraine via the Black Sea and to avoid a global food crisis.
