High-level officials from key European countries, the United States, and Ukraine are gathering in Paris, days after the latest direct talks between Washington and Moscow that are aimed at ending the war between Russia and Ukraine, Europe’s biggest conflict since the end of World War II.
The talks are a first chance for face-to-face meetings between senior European and Ukrainian leaders and US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff since his latest meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week.

Moscow has failed to sign on to a broad cease-fire agreement put forward by US President Donald Trump, which Ukraine has already accepted. Russia has said any deal is conditional on Kyiv stopping its mobilization efforts as well as an end to the flow of Western arms to Ukraine. Those demands have been rejected by Ukraine.
Still, Witkoff recently told Fox News that he believes a peace deal was “emerging.”
He said he had heard “what Putin’s request is to have a permanent peace here,” adding that it was “about these so-called five territories.” This refers to parts of Ukraine at least partially occupied by Russia, which Moscow claims.
As talks began, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that while Washington was working for peace, “from the Europeans, we see a focus on continuing the war.”
Meanwhile, there has been no letup in deadly Russian missile strikes on Ukrainian cities in recent days. On April 16, a Russian drone attack on Dnipro killed at least five people.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged participants in the Paris talks to push Russia to accept a cease-fire.
“Russia uses every day and every night to kill. We must put pressure on the killers… to end this war and guarantee a lasting peace,” Zelensky said in a Telegram post.
Aside from Witkoff, the talks are set to include US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, French President Emannuel Macron, and Ukrainian presidential envoy Andriy Yermak.
