Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet French President Francois Hollande Thursday during D-Day commemorations in France, according to the Kremlin press service.
"The Putin-Hollande meeting will centre on the settlement of the Ukraine crisis, particularly an end to punitive operations in the country's southeast and the May 25 presidential election," Xinhua cited the Kremlin as saying.
"Russia-EU and Russia-NATO cooperation will also be raised within the context of unrest in Ukraine," it said.
"Special attention will be paid to the situation in Syria after the June 3 presidential election, affairs in Libya and international efforts over Iran's nuclear programme," the press service said.
Economic cooperation between Moscow and Paris will also be a focus area. The two leaders will discuss measures to further increase the trade turnover, which reached $22.2 billion last year.
The press service also announced that Putin would meet British Prime Minister David Cameron on the same day and German Chancellor Angela Merkel Friday.
The commemorations will be held in the French region of Normandy to mark the 70th anniversary of the landing of Allied forces there, which marked a turning point in the war against Nazi Germany.
