The Kremlin has officially denied reports claiming that a Russian aide told French officials to 'f**k you' during discussions about including the EU in peace negotiations involving Russia, the US, and Ukraine. This response comes after a Financial Times article revealed that French President Emmanuel Macron's advisors met with a representative of President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, where they sought to involve the European Union in the ongoing peace talks between Russia and the US regarding Ukraine.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov vehemently dismissed the allegations of foul language being used, stating that the Russian government maintains a level of decorum in diplomatic communications. Peskov emphasized that such language is not part of their diplomatic approach, and he even humorously noted that effective diplomacy often involves conveying unpleasant messages without resorting to vulgarity.

The denial from the Kremlin highlights the ongoing tensions between Russia and Western nations over the Ukraine conflict. The way in which diplomatic communications are characterized can significantly impact the diplomatic landscape, and Peskov's remarks suggest that Russia aims to uphold a certain image in the international arena, despite the rising geopolitical tensions surrounding their actions in Ukraine.
