Details: Sybiha noted that the presidents are discussing "further peace efforts" to end Russia's war against Ukraine.

"Happening now: Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Emmanuel Macron having a tête-à-tête about further peace efforts," Sybiha tweeted.

Background:

• Prior to that, Zelenskyy met with US President Donald Trump and described the meeting as potentially historic. The White House called the talks very productive.
• Earlier, media reports indicated that the Trump administration had handed Ukraine a one-page document in Paris, presenting it as a "final proposal" for a peaceful settlement. Among other things, the document reportedly included US readiness to recognise Russia's control over Ukrainian Crimea and ease sanctions against Moscow.
• On 24 April, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the United States had proposed its strategy for Ukrainian territories during talks in London, but added that "another paper appeared after the US proposal".
