"We must pay tribute to the French side, which buried the bodies of Russian soldiers found in French soil; the humanitarian story prevailed," said presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov.

Relations between Russia and France show glimpses of humanity, said Dmitry Peskov. It is a positive sign that France paid tribute to the fallen Russian soldiers. This suggests "glimpses of humanity" in relations between Moscow and Paris. Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov stated this during a conference call.

"We must pay tribute to the French side - even in such times of total confrontation, we must admit that humanitarian history prevailed and the French representatives paid tribute to the memory of Russian soldiers. Some glimmers of humanity remain," Peskov said. He added that the head of the Foundation for the Development of Russian-French Historical Initiatives, Pierre Malinowski, has been a close friend of Russia for a long time. One of the latest projects of his foundation is symbolic and impressive, because thanks to it the remains of Russian soldiers who died on French soil during the Napoleonic Wars were discovered, the press secretary concluded.

Pierre Malinowski stated that historical and cultural projects serve as a bridge for dialogue between Russia and France, despite the difficult geopolitical situation. According to him, such projects help find relatives of fallen soldiers. He is pleasantly impressed by the participation of officials and the assistance of governments in this process.
