Details: Rubio arrived in Paris on Thursday (17 April) to take part in the first discussions on Ukraine between Americans, Europeans, and Ukrainians at a time when the Washington-initiated ceasefire talks have stalled and Europeans are trying to make their voices heard.

He said on Friday (18 April) that it was necessary to determine in "a matter of days" whether peace in Ukraine was possible, stressing that the United States had other priorities, following meetings in Paris between Americans, Europeans and Ukrainians.

Background:

• Earlier, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot called the meetings in Paris on Thursday 17 April a diplomatic success for France which had brought Americans, Europeans and Ukrainians together at the same table.
• US Special Envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg also reported on very productive meetings in Paris and posted a photo with Andrii Yermak, Head of the President's Office, and Ukrainian Defence Minister Rustem Umierov.
