French President Emmanuel Macron will meet Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Feb. 7 and the leader of Ukraine on Feb. 8 to discuss the Ukraine situation, as Western world leaders try and avoid a major conflict with Russia over Ukraine, Qazet.az reports citing Reuters.
Macron's office added he would meet Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky in Kiev a day after his meeting with Putin.
Macron has said that finding a negotiated path towards de-escalating tensions over Ukraine was a priority, even as the United States has said it was sending 3,000 extra troops to Poland and Romania as Russia massed troops near Ukraine.
