Russia has so far refused to agree to a face-to-face meeting between Zelensky and Putin, despite several requests from Kyiv. The Kremlin hasn't ruled out summits for the two leaders but has said they could only meet in the very final stages of clinching a peace agreement.

French President Emmanuel Macron spoke exclusively with Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker on the talks for peace between Russia and Ukraine that took place at the White House. Macron shared his perspective on Trump’s hot mic comment about President Putin wanting to make a deal and the ongoing ceasefire efforts.
