The Russian ruble drifted lower against the U.S. dollar ahead of European deals on Tuesday, as crude oil extended sell-off.

Ukraine peace summit, to be held later this week, seems to have canceled as foreign ministers from France, Russia, Ukraine and Germany couldn't find progress in implementing a cease-fire and peace plan between Ukraine and pro-Russian rebels.

The foreign ministers of the four countries will meet in Berlin on Monday.

The ruble fell below 65 level to 65.33 against the greenback, a level not seen since December 17. If the ruble slides further, 67.5 is seen as its next downside level. The pair closed yesterday's deals at 63.18.
