This information was also confirmed by the Kremlin, more precisely the spokesman of the Russian President, Dmitry Peskov, Sputnik reported in English.

Peskov emphasized that it was not about politics and that it did not affect the talks.

As stated, the French President was offered the option of either doing a PCR test in order to get closer to Putin, or to respect precautionary measures, i.e. physical distance.

Macron decided to do the latter, allegedly out of concern that his DNA samples would end up in the hands of Russian doctors.

"We knew very well that this meant no handshake and that long table is a must. But we could not accept the fact that they get their hands on the president's DNA," the source said, Reuters reports.
