Barred from US-Russia talks on Ukraine, Europe scrambles for response with Paris summit

We believe that, as a result of the acceleration on the Ukrainian issue, and also as a result of what American leaders are saying, there is a need for Europeans to do more, better and in a coherent manner for our collective security,

the official told reporters

These initiatives are an opportunity in the sense that they can help speed up the end of the war in Ukraine, but obviously we still need to agree and see under what conditions the end of the war can be achieved,

the official said

Everybody should be able to take part in the conversation,
