Will US media label him a pro-Putin stooge as it would surely do if Trump said it? French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian has called for an easing of tensions with Russia as a delegation of top French ministers met with officials in Moscow on Monday.

"The time has come, the time is right, to work towards reducing distrust," Le Drian said at a press conference. He described Saturday's historic prisoner swap between Russia and Ukraine, which included 24 Ukrainian sailors detained in the Kerch Strait incident last November, as presenting a "window of opportunity" that could open a lasting peace between Kiev and Moscow.
