Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff and top diplomat Marco Rubio will hold talks with European counterparts in Paris later on Thursday to discuss efforts to end the war in Ukraine.
Ukraine's foreign minister and defence minister have arrived in the French capital to take part in the discussions.
The talks, hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron, form the highest level of transatlantic engagement about the war since February.
European diplomats have said they will urge the US to put more pressure on Russia to agree an unconditional ceasefire.

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.

Ukies still losing ground.
Kursk Salient…Gone.
Th highest, I tell you! The highest! Just you wait. Le petit roi Macron will lead his troops into somewhere near Ukraine, and Starmer will flank from the buffet aisle.
President Trump is a sly one, using Witkof and Kellog as good cop bad cop. Kellog has been coming up with plans that Russia will never agree to, Witkof making inroads.
Russia will not be “ bullied” by the old war dog Kellog, and has going the way of Rex Tillerson. In any case, Putin will ultimately decide how the Ukie war ends.
All eyes should be on the EU, which is still sending over $$$ billions and war mongering,derailing President Trump at every opportunity.
The EU is a bigger threat than Russia.
“Putin will ultimately decide how the Ukie war ends.”
If Putin could decide, the war would have been over three years ago.
Russia is going broke financing their two-week war.x
Good. Maybe they'll convince him and then Zelenskyy to be realistic about Ukraine's position and stop the killing.
Just wait until the ground freezes !11
