Macron's photos after phone call with Putin go viral
On March 6 Macron spoke to both Putin and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.
Macron tweeted: “We are striving to preserve the integrity of Ukraine's civilian nuclear plants, in addition to other priority demands we presented to Russia: a ceasefire and the protection of civilians.”
Putin and Macron have had 14 contacts since December, according to Tass.
Pictures taken from an 18th February and a 4th of March call have been doing the rounds on Twitter. Snapped by photographer Soazig de la Moissonnière, the pictures show the French president in a visibly anxious state.
Naturally, the internet spotted an opportunity to reappropriate the images into memes.
