Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff and top diplomat Marco Rubio will hold talks with European counterparts in Paris later on Thursday to discuss efforts to end the war in Ukraine.

The talks are the most significant transatlantic dialogue on the war since February and involve UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy and French President Emmanuel Macron, according to BBC.

The US Secretary of State will attend conversations with Lammy, his French and German counterparts, and European national security advisers.The top priority is finding a way to end the war in Ukraine and understanding the consequences of Witkoff's discussions with Moscow.

European leaders are also urging the US to be more aggressive towards Russia, urging for a ceasefire without conditions, BBC reported.

These meetings are seen as significant for their message of renewed diplomatic cooperation between the US and its European allies.
