The scene wasn't cut at all- you are thinking of the first time Russia and France talk in Episode 9. That is when Russia mentions how nice it is to see everyone getting into heated discussions and how he comes from a place that is very cold (and we see a little chibi Russia). In Episode 13, France and Russia talk again, but the conversation is much shorter. Funi didn't cut a thing, they just used Episode 13 instead of 9, so no worries :D
