ai generated text
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff are scheduled to meet with French leaders in Paris from April 16 to April 18. The meetings are expected to discuss tensions over Iran's nuclear program, Middle East trouble spots, and other foreign and trade policy issues, including Ukraine.
You don't start a war against someone 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles.
I don't hold Zelensky responsible, but I'm not exactly thrilled with the fact that that war started. That was a war that would have never started if I were president.
The Secretary conveyed to his Russian counterpart the same message the U.S. team communicated to the Ukrainian delegation and our European allies in Paris: President Trump and the United States want this war to end, and have now presented to all parties the outlines of a durable and lasting peace.
Arrived in Paris with one goal in mind: secure real, practical solutions to end the Russia-Ukraine war.
Over 40% of all the weapons used at the front to defend our country are produced in Ukraine.
We exchanged views on the next steps … including the implementation of a full ceasefire, the involvement of a multinational military contingent and development of an effective security architecture for Ukraine.

Russia uses every day and every night to kill. We must put pressure on the killers.
I believe that Mr Witkoff has taken on the strategy of the Russian side.
I have just landed in Paris. We arrived together with Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga and Defense Minister Rustem Umerov.
We are working on critical issues for the security of Ukraine and all of Europe.
Today, we engaged in a positive and constructive discussion on how to achieve both a ceasefire and a comprehensive, lasting peace.
This is a very important occasion for convergence.
The encouraging reception in Paris to the US framework shows that peace is possible if all parties commit to reaching an agreement.
We discussed the imperative need for Europeans to meet a 5% defence spending commitment to restore deterrence with ready, lethal, conventional forces.
Many people, agencies, countries are trying to disrupt our dialogue with the United States. Propaganda against Russia is going very actively in the United States in various mass media.
