France praised the talks on the Ukraine war and called it an excellent meeting, which was held in Paris between top US and European officials on Thursday, where US Secretary of State Marco Rubio once again promoted a US peace plan.
President Emmanuel Macron’s office described the talks as a “positive process” as Europe seeks a role in efforts to end the three-year war. This is the first time Europe has been directly involved in any peace process for the conflict on its own continent.
The meetings included Macron, Rubio, US envoy Steve Witkoff, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, German officials, and Ukrainian ministers.
The talks came as US President Donald Trump’s efforts to end the war face setbacks, with Russian President Vladimir Putin rejecting a full truce.
“Today in Paris, we launched a positive process in which the Europeans are involved,” the French presidency said.
A new meeting with envoys from the US, France, Britain, Germany, and Ukraine will be held in London next week, officials said.
