French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday said Russian President Vladimir Putin has assured him that he will not escalate the Ukraine crisis.

After a five-hour talk with Putin, Macron said the Russian leader "won't be initiating an escalation" and the "objective is met" for preventing an escalation of the conflict, according to a news conference covered by The Associated Press.

However, the Kremlin denied reports that a de-escalation agreement was struck, the AP noted.

Macron met with Putin on Monday after concerns about the possibility of a Russian invasion of Ukraine increased over the weekend as U.S. officials said Russia had amassed 70 percent of the forces needed for a full invasion and could attack any day. Russia has denied those reports and any claims that it will invade Ukraine.
