The Kremlin pushed back Tuesday against French claims that Russian President Vladimir Putin promised French leader Emmanuel Macron that he would refrain from staging new military operations as a means to de-escalate the conflict over Ukraine.
A French official speaking after the five-hour meeting between Macron and Putin on Monday said the Russian leader gave assurances that he would not carry out new maneuvers and would remove Russian troops from Belarus once joint military exercises conclude on Feb. 20.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia was prepared to continue dialogue but no deal had been reached on defusing the crisis.
