European foreign ministers told United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Monday in Paris that Europe must have a say in any deal to end Russia's war on Ukraine, Agence France-Presse reported. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, after talks with Rubio, said Europe must have a place at the table. It was Rubio's first meeting with allies since last week's midterm elections.
To step up the reconstruction of Ukraine, G7 partners committed to supporting international fundraising for the restoration of the Chernobyl Containment Arch in Ukraine, which was severely damaged by a Russian strike in 2025, the French foreign ministry said.
