The meeting they had Emmanuel Macron and Vladimir Putin It was marked by distances, physical and in posture, a distance that was clear in the image of the four-meter table that separated both leaders.
The explanation for that image has come from the French president’s cabinet, which explains that he refused to undergo a PCR for fear that the Russians had a sample of Macron’s DNA.
This is what the Reuters agency advances, which cites two sources close to Macron’s environment. “We knew very well that meant not shaking hands and having that long table. But we could not accept that they had in their hands the DNA of the president“, explains one of those sources.
In addition, they add that “the protocol conditions that would have allowed a meeting with the two heads of state with a smaller distance (…) were neither acceptable nor compatible with the agenda problems” of the French leader.
Kremlin sources consulted by Reuters have declined to comment on these claims. The other source consulted by the agency explains that Macron underwent a PCR before traveling to Russia and an antigen test (test performed by your doctor) once you landed in Russia.
“The Russians told us that Putin had to be kept in a strict health bubble“, they add.
