G7 Paris Meeting Turns to Ukraine Session on November 10: Sybiha Meets Rubio First, Rubio Says the United States Remains Focused on Lasting Peace
Paris — The G7 foreign ministers' meeting in Paris turned to a dedicated Ukraine session on Tuesday, November 10. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha began the day with a bilateral meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio before joining the broader G7 meeting at the French foreign ministry.
After the meeting, Rubio said the United States remains focused on achieving a durable and lasting peace in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The two discussed ongoing negotiations to end the war, energy resilience and defence cooperation, as Washington continues diplomatic efforts to facilitate a peace agreement between Moscow and Kyiv.
The discussions centred on defence and security assistance for Ukraine, the Associated Press reported. President Donald Trump's administration has scaled back that assistance, raising concerns in Kyiv and in European capitals.
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, who met Rubio separately on the sidelines of the Paris gathering on Monday, stressed that Europe must have a place in the negotiations. Before departing for the meeting, Sybiha said no one has the right to decide Ukraine's fate behind its back.
The Paris meeting took place on the same day as the trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi, where U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Russian and Ukrainian officials, in part to persuade Moscow to agree to broader negotiations that would include key European officials. The three sides last held talks in this format in February.
