France’s foreign and defense ministers will meet their Russian counterparts Monday in Moscow, a further step in President Emmanuel Macron’s effort to refresh relations with Russia.
It’s the first such visit since 2014, and follows Russian President Vladimir Putin’s Aug. 19 trip to Macron’s summer residence, just before the Biarritz G-7 meeting.
