Macro has rejected the Russian Corleone test.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said Russia understands the French position, and this has not affected the talks.

The testing has called for health protocols that have been unacceptable and they have not adapted to the French leader's schedule, French sources for British broadcaster BBC have said.

This announcement comes after reports that Macro has refused to run tests PCR, after concerns the Russians may have DNA samples.

The leaders have been seen in photographs holding physical encounters.

They haven't held hands and sat on the table four feet long.

Some observers have asked whether Putin is using that situation to send a diplomatic message.

But a French diplomatic source has told Reuters news agency that Macroni has been told to decide whether to accept the Russian PCR test to be closer to Putin, or otherwise must enforce the rules of physical distance.

We knew very well that she meant there would be no handshake and long table. But we could not accept that they have in their hands President”'s DNA has said a source for Reuters.

This source has not provided details on how Russian intelligence services can use the Macroni DNA samples.

During the meeting, Macron and Putin have been negotiating five hours of tensions over Ukraine.

The West States have said Russia could invade Ukraine, but Russia denies there are such plans, though it has gathered 100,000 troops on the border near Ukraine.

The US State Department has called on all American citizens to leave Ukraine immediately. / REL
