Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on Tuesday that he had discussed peace efforts, battlefield situation and international developments with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
“We must seize every opportunity for diplomacy and de-escalation,” Sybiha wrote in an X post after meeting with Rubio in Paris.
The talks covered the humanitarian operation in the Ukraine-Russia frontline town of Oleshky and efforts to restore freedom of navigation in the Black Sea, he said.
The two sides also discussed strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, bolstering air defense, and ensuring Ukraine’s resilience ahead of winter, he added.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian, U.S. and Russian delegations concluded their first day of negotiations in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Enditem
