The results of the negotiations between Putin and Macron: Minsk agreements, conflict with NATO.

MOSCOW: There is no alternative to the Minsk agreements to resolve the situation in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin said after talks with French President Emmanuel Macron.

At the same time, the Russian leader did not rule out that Kiev could try to solve the problem in the south-east of Ukraine by force for the third time, although the current leadership of this country went to the elections under the slogan of peace negotiations.

- In the event of a military conflict between Moscow and NATO, there will be no winners. Vladimir Putin stated this at the talks with Emmanuel Macron. They went on for about six hours. The central theme was European security. Europe could be drawn into a military conflict with Russia if Ukraine joins NATO, Putin warned. 

Putin: The US and NATO have ignored Russia's main security proposals. According to the Russian president, the US and NATO responses to proposals for security guarantees contain ideas only on secondary issues, so the dialogue must continue.

Also, Russia is categorically against the expansion of the alliance to the east at the expense of new states. At the same time, it is wrong to say that Moscow is behaving aggressively, the Russian president emphasized.
