Moscow, Aug 13 (IANS) Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit France on August 19 to discuss with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron bilateral cooperation and the situation in Ukraine, the Kremlin said on Tuesday.
"The topics are obvious: Bilateral Russian-French cooperation, which has a very rich economic content, as well as international problems," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
During the one-day working visit, the leaders will also talk about Ukraine and discuss prospects for work on the Normandy Four format, Xinhua news agency cited him as saying.
