French President Emmanuel Macron is hosting his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin for talks on Monday.The meeting comes before the Group of Seven industrialized nations attend a summit in Biarritz next weekend.
Hosting talks at a presidential residence at the Fort of Brégançon on the Mediterranean coast on Monday, Macron and Putin are expected to talk about the delicate political situations in Ukraine, Libya and Syria. A press conference was due to begin at 10:00 a.m. ET. Relations between the neighbors remain tense and skirmishes in east Ukraine happen often, with the death of four Ukrainian soldiers in early August prompting new Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to call for a resumption of peace talks with Russia.
The lifting of restrictions on Russia's economic activity has been tied to it making progress on its peace agreement with Ukraine. "I wouldn't envisage there will be any concessions on Ukraine at this point. I don't think Putin will want to signal any readiness that he's willing to back down. He doesn't want to signal any weakness to Zelenksy."
