Leaders in Paris/ US to hold talks on Ukraine with European allies

US special envoy Steve Witkoff and top diplomat Marco Rubio will hold talks with European counterparts today in Paris to discuss efforts to end the war in Ukraine.

Ukraine's foreign minister and defense minister have arrived in the French capital to participate in the discussions.

The talks, which will also include UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy, form the highest level of transatlantic engagement over the war since February.

European diplomats have said they will ask the US to put more pressure on Russia to agree to an unconditional ceasefire.

Witkoff and Rubio will meet with French President Emmanuel Macron and his team, before the US Secretary of State holds talks with Lammy and his French and German counterparts. European national security advisers will also be involved.

The US State Department said the focus would be on how to end the fighting in Ukraine and that Witkoff would report on his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, said they are working on issues important for the security of Ukraine and all of Europe. /CNA
