Last week, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called Joe Biden's recent "war criminal" remarks concerning Russian President Vladimir Putin as inadmissible, adding that the leader of a country that bombed other states and killed thousands of people has no right to say such things.
French President Emmanuel Macron has said that he would refrain from uttering such stern language such as was recently used by POTUS regarding Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.

"I would not use those words", Macron told the broadcaster France 3 on Sunday, referring to US President Joe Bidenbranding Putin a "butcher" on Saturday hours before claiming that the Russian president "cannot remain in power".

Referring to Moscow's ongoing special military operation in Ukraine, the French president also said that he sees his task as "achieving first a ceasefire and then the total withdrawal of [Russian] troops [from Ukraine] by diplomatic means".

"If we want to do that, we can't escalate either in words or actions", Macron cautioned, adding that he will again get in touch with Putin in the immediate future.
