(FNA)- Officials said on Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold face-to-face talks on the Ukraine crisis with British Prime Minister David Cameron.

"The two leaders will meet after they attend events to mark the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, France, on Friday," The Voice of Russia reported.

"It is an important opportunity to set out the importance of a dialogue between the Russian government and the new Ukrainian government following the presidential elections that have happened over the last week or so in Ukraine," Cameron's official spokesman told reporters.

"The talks will take place the day after Cameron, US President Barack Obama and other G7 leaders meet in Brussels for a summit at which situation in eastern Ukraine will be at the center of discussions," the report said.
