French President Emmanuel Macron Believes ‘The Worst Is To Come’ After Call With Russian President Vladimir Putin

Emmanuel Macron held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin over the phone on Thursday in a bid to ease tensions between Russia and Ukraine. According to a French official, the pair spoke for 90 minutes, with Putin telling Macron that the conflict was “going according to plan.”

A source present described the tone of the phone call as “pessimistic” and “not-so-friendly.” As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine enters its second week, Kherson mayor Ihor Kolykhaev told NBC News Thursday that the city had been captured by Russian forces.
