Paris: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was in Paris on Thursday to meet French President Emmanuel Macron about crafting a Ukraine ceasefire, as Washington and Europe seek common ground on ending the fighting.
Top Ukrainian officials were also in the French capital on Thursday to meet EU and US delegations, President Volodymyr Zelensky's chief of staff said, without specifying who.
Rubio and Keith Kellogg, US President Donald Trump's special envoy to Ukraine, arrived in Paris, with US envoy Steve Witkoff expected to join, as Trump's push for a ceasefire has yet to bear fruit despite his pledges to quickly end the war.
Russia's strikes that have recently killed dozens of people, including children in Ukraine's cities of Sumy and Kryvyi Rig, show how the war is taking a hefty toll despite a series of diplomatic efforts.
Late Wednesday, a Russian drone attack on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro killed three people, including a young girl, authorities said.
