The EU once again stood up for Ukraine during the negotiations
The details of the meeting in Paris were revealed by the head of French diplomacy, Jean-Noel Barrot.
According to the diplomat, during negotiations last week, representatives of European countries explained to the States which aspects of a potential peace agreement between Kyiv and Moscow are what they consider unacceptable for negotiations.
Our goal is to protect French interests and European security. And that's why when the US decides to act as a mediator, we want them to know what our red lines are.

Recently, journalists managed to learn that the Trump team presented its own proposals to European leaders in France for concluding a "peace agreement" between Russia and Ukraine.
