France has expressed its opinion on the need to give negotiations a chance to reach a peace agreement in Ukraine, amid pressures from the United States. According to French authorities, it is Russia that is blocking the entire process and must take responsibility for this conflict.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio also weighed in, stating that if talks between Ukraine and Russia do not progress, the United States should withdraw from this peace process. Rubio made these remarks at the end of his visit to Paris, where he met with U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to discuss the situation in Ukraine.
In this regard, both France and the United States are involved in seeking a peaceful solution to the conflict in Ukraine, but in light of the lack of progress in negotiations with Russia, their positions could harden. Both countries continue to seek a solution that would restore stability in the region and ensure Ukraine's security.
France insists on the importance of continuing to talk and exploring all options to reach a peace agreement in Ukraine, while the United States is considering the possibility of withdrawing if significant progress in negotiations with Russia is not observed. The international community is closely monitoring this situation and hopes that the parties involved can find common ground to move towards peace in Ukraine.
