The French president, Emmanuel Macron, will meet on Thursday, April 17 with the Secretary of State of the United States, Marco Rubio, and the American envoy Steve Witkoff, said the Elysee Palace, while transatlantic tensions shoot in Ucrine.
Witkoff, who recently with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Rubio addresses Paris to talk about the end of the war in Ukraine, said the State Department separately.
The impulse of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, for a high fire in Ukraine has not yet paid off despite his promises to end the war quickly.
Russia’s attacks that have recently killed the people’s box, including many children in the cities of Ukraine of Sumy and Kryvyi Rig, show how war is affecting the hand despite a series of diplomatic efforts.
Macron has taken the initiative to seek a coordinated European response to the protection of Ukraine, both last the current and possible conflict after the world when opening direct negotiations with Russia.
The State Department said Rubio was traveling with Witkoff to meet with European officials to talk about the objective of stopping the war caused by Russia’s invasion in 2022.
A French diplomatic source said that Rubio and France Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jean-Noel Barrot, would discuss “the war in Ukraine, the situation in the Middle East and the Iranian nuclear archive.”
This will be Rubio’s third trip to Europe since he assumed the position.
Witkoff said Monday, a few days after his third meeting with Putin, that Himelf sees a “emerging” PAAT agreement.
