Bloomberg reported the information, citing sources familiar with the matter.
On Thursday, discussions, including a meeting between French President Emmanuel Macron and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, with Ukrainian officials present, primarily focused on how to quickly move toward a ceasefire and establish lasting peace, according to anonymous sources.
The participants told U.S. officials that they fully support President Donald Trump's main goal of ending the war as soon as possible.
U.S. officials stated that they expect significant progress soon, and participants in Thursday's meeting agreed to work in that direction, sources said.
European officials also wanted to know what actions the Trump administration would take if there’s no progress from Putin, urging Washington to toughen its stance on Moscow, including through a potential "comprehensive" sanctions package.
