Speaking at an event in Paris, the French president urged people to imagine “tomorrow’s peace” in Europe in a new form, and in a new reality.

“We will have to think about a new form of organisation of Europe and rethink our relations with Russia after the war in Ukraine,” Macron said.

Peskov said he had no information about a test of Russia’s RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, after arms experts said on the basis of satellite imagery that it appeared to have failed in a test this month.

When asked about international chess governing body FIDE’s ban on Russian and Belarusian players ,the Kremlin said that Ukraine and the west had put pressure on FIDE.

Vladimir Putin will meet Mikhail Kovalchuk, the head of the Kurchatov nuclear research institute, on Monday.

The Kremlin said it will study Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s so-called “victory plan” if it sees official information on it. Details of the plan have not yet been released to the public.
